Jessica VerBout, M.A., LMFT, CST

My clients describe me as:

An empathetic and passionate person who has helped them feel seen and heard without judgement; someone they could open up to and feel safe talking to.

Something to know about my approach is:

I come from a strength-focused, client-led, sex-positive, and relational approach to my work. All of my clients are unique in what is bringing them in and I create a safe space for each person to explore and discover themselves and solutions.

Together, we will:

Work together to understand the root causes of those things you're struggling with, to then understand how you are able to think about/do things differently to bring more peace, satisfaction, and relief to your life.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are struggling with their sexual thoughts, behaviors, or desires and feel it is causing more issues or discomfort or stress in their lives (personal, relationships, etc.) than enhancing it. Clients who are wanting to increase their pleasures in life.

I became a therapist because:

I enjoy helping people rediscover (or discover for the first time) how to experience pleasure, contentment, comfort, and happiness in their lives.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer both in-person sessions (for MN clients), telemedicine (for MN and WA clients), or a hybrid of both!

More about me and my practice:

I am a very specialized therapist who is passionate about treating sexuality concerns. I am AASECT certified, am working on completing a PhD in Sexology, and have dedicated my entire career on helping people with sexual issues of various kinds.
