Hi! My name is Jessica Matthews and I am a licensed mental health counselor of 15 years, practicing in Florida. For the last 10 years I have been providing mental health treatment to college students in both Florida and Illinois, but I have experience working with all ages and populations. I work with a variety of disorders and specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment issues, relationship problems, trauma, and family relational difficulties. I love working in mental health and treat my clients with respect and compassion, while providing a supportive, safe space for them to heal and work toward their goals. I utilize a strength-based approach and often incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and mindfulness skills into my practice. If you are struggling and need support, I am here to help!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first meeting we will get to know one another and I will gather some background and important information for working together, along with your goals for our sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I provide an extremely welcoming and supportive environment for my clients to process their emotions and work through their struggles. I am very empathetic and truly care about those that I work with. I have also worked with all ages and concerns, and I am skilled with a variety of techniques and therapies to meet the diverse needs of my clients.
