Jessica Whitesel

Jessica Whitesel is a compassionate therapist devoted to supporting children, families, and adults in their healing journeys. She finds inspiration in every individual who courageously embarks on personal transformation. Specializing in psychotherapy and art therapy for children and teens, Jessica plays a vital role in helping individuals work through trauma, depression, and anxiety. Recognizing that art and play are the innate languages of children, she creates a safe and nurturing environment that allows them to express their thoughts and feelings freely. This supportive space not only aids children in articulating their emotions but also guides parents in recognizing and understanding their child’s struggles, enhancing their ability to offer effective support. Jessica knows that addressing challenging emotions, such as sadness, anger, or fear—often suppressed—can lead to the root of problematic behaviors or symptoms. Through art and play, individuals can rediscover their capacity for joy, which often diminishes during times of anxiety or depression. In addition, she provides clinical supervision to therapists pursuing licensure and the art therapist credential (ATR), further contributing to the field of mental health.”
