Jessica Benner, M.Ed

My clients describe me as:

As a therapist, I don’t take myself too seriously and I thrive when sessions are collaborative and connected, rather than cold and clinical.

Something to know about my approach is:

As someone who has been on both sides of the therapy chair, I understand being vulnerable is fucking scary, but it’s also necessary. We don’t grow when we’re in our comfort zone, especially when that comfort zone is unhealthy.

Together, we will:

Untangle your brain and silence your inner critic. Some of the work we do together will help you process life experiences and build awareness to question your thoughts and restructure unhelpful beliefs about yourself.

I specialize in working with people who:

I enjoy working with badass women and new moms to explore that voice in your head that tells you you’re not good enough and that you’re doing it all wrong. Guess what? You’re not.

This is a loaded question. In short, therapy changed my life and I want to afford the same opportunity for others. It's never too late.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

Offering therapy online helps me reach a broader range of individuals who may be struggling and also keeps traveling time and expenses to a minimum.

More about me and my practice:

When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me close to the water, or most likely on the couch, splitting a bag of chips with my pups. I am usually binge-watching Bravo TV, silly dancing around the house and always looking for my wallet and keys.
