About Jessa
If you're facing a cancer diagnosis, grieving someone you've lost, carrying the weight of military service, or navigating the aftermath of sexual abuse or spiritual trauma, you need a therapist who can sit with the heaviness without rushing you through it. I work with individuals and families at every stage of cancer, from diagnosis through treatment decisions, survivorship, and the grief that threads through all of it. I work with veterans, active service members and their families, and I understand the culture well enough that you won't have to explain things you shouldn't have to explain.
I offer telehealth across the entire state of Michigan, so if you're in a rural area or small town where specialized grief and trauma support is hard to find, I can reach you. Sessions run by secure video with live captions and written chat; no phone call is needed to get started. Text (810) 394-8921 or request an appointment at forestfernscounseling.com/get-started.
My approach
I draw from CBT, DBT, person-centered and trauma-focused approaches, and tailor treatment collaboratively to the person in front of me. Since 2016 I've worked with children, parents, couples and families, and group work is one of my strengths.
About me
I'm a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor with Forest Ferns Counseling, a Deaf-led Michigan group practice. I welcome LGBTQIA+ clients and people of every faith background, including those recovering from spiritual trauma.
