Hi! My name is Jessica Mayfield-Ashwood, a clinically licensed social worker with 5 years of practice in the mental health field. I received my MSW degree from The University of Michigan and am a proud native of Detroit, Mi. I service children as young as 9yrs old and adults of all ages utilizing a variety of specialties tailored to the needs of my client.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
A first session will be us getting to know each other, setting goals, and assessing needs. Afterwards, sessions will be more in depth to target goals and explore mental and behavioral concerns. I use a combination of modalities that best fits the client at the time.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is not only having the clinical knowledge of what client's experience but personal knowledge. I am able to relate to clients in various ways while combining my education and expertise to help clients identify and practice skills.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a way to explore how our thoughts, feelings, and actions interact with each other. Many clients find this approach helpful because it reshapes perception of certain thoughts and feelings which in turn change our behaviors to be more positive.
Strength-Based
As a social worker, I love to include YOU first and focus on your strengths rather than deficits. We will build coping skills tailored to things you're naturally good at or familiar with.
Trauma Informed Care
I have vast experience with trauma work and how trauma impacts not only our mind but our body. If there is a history of trauma, we will explore it with care and at a pace appropriate for you.
