Meet the Counselor

Jessie Deussing LCMHC | Owner

Jessie Deussing is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). She graduated from James Madison University with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and completed her graduate education at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, earning an M.A. in Christian Counseling. She is in the process of earning supervised hours and training to become a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT). For more information about EFT, please visit www.iceeft.com. 

Jessie specializes in counseling couples and adult individuals (ages 18+) surrounding:

· Marital Distress

· Attachment Injuries (affair recovery/intimate betrayal)

· Past harm (abuse, neglect, trauma) 

· Grief

· Anxiety 

· Emotional regulation struggles

· Self-injury (cutting, pinching, carving, burning, hair pulling) 

· Depression

· Spiritual struggles

The decision to seek therapy can be filled with life-size expectations and is usually made when we are in acute pain. Jessie is sensitive to the risk it entails to take this step toward healing and seeks to provide a safe and supportive place to process the best and most difficult parts of your story. 

Jessie counsels in a non-judging, empathic, and holistic manner that honors the complexity and uniqueness of each individual.  She adheres to an emotionally-focused model that prioritizes attachment needs and bonding, between partners (or core attachments) and within the self.
