If there's anyone who epitomizes the "Real Heart Real Change" theme of our work, it's Jessalea (pronounced Jess-a-LEE)! She's all heart! Not only that, she works with a great diligence with every one of her clients, whether they're a 6-year-old in a play therapy session, a 30-year old woman with depression, or a 55-year old who has recently struggled with a significant loss. Jessalea really works hard to gain a deep sense of rapport with those with whom she counsels, and has an amazing ability to show deep compassion, and insight, too!
Jessalea received her Masters degree from Dallas Baptist University, and is exceedingly close to completing her supervision requirements for gaining her full licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor. She will give you a"best value" kind of feeling as you work with her on a very fair sliding scale fee. She gives more than 100% of her best skills - listening, REALLY hearing for those heart issues, and providing counsel that is ALWAYS consistent with Scripture and her scholarly learning. (Just like all of our counselors at CCA, Jessalea never stops reading - never stops working to learn new information - never stops until "real change" is effectively accomplished with her clientele!)
As you've gathered, Jessalea is a quite accomplished counselor! She has great skills in working with children in our wonderful new play therapy center. In addition, she is experienced in counseling in many issues of concern with women of all ages, including grief-related struggles, abuse-related issues, depression, anxiety, and is especially gifted in working with adolescent girls and their families!
She works in our Hope Center office at 2001 W. Plano Parkway, Suite 2300. You can make an appointment with Jessalea by calling us at 972-422-8383. (Most daytime hours, you'll talk "live" with our wonderful office manager, Laura - but if you don't get through, leave a message and Laura or Jessalea will call you back just as soon as they can!
