Welcome! I am so glad that you are here. My greatest hope is that this moment is the beginning of a journey that brings you healing, hope and empowerment. 

My name is Jessica Colson and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC). I am passionate about helping young people feel heard, supported and accepted and about helping them understand what they are going through. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential because effective therapy takes dedication and hard work. Therefore, I spend time building trust with my clients and work collaboratively with them to create developmentally appropriate goals and strategies. 

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help clients learn how to effectively manage their Anxiety and/or OCD. This approach helps clients to learn how to create meaningful life experiences so that their Anxiety and/or OCD is no longer in charge. 

I have over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, first as a Middle School Math Teacher and, for the last decade, as a Middle School Counselor. I am also the mother of two amazing teenagers. Adolescents and children are insightful human beings and I absolutely love working with them. I look forward to learning more about you and working hard together to achieve your goals.
