Jessica Dacus, Counselor

It can be stressful and lonely to walk through life on your own. You may be battling fears, doubts, and frustrations on a regular basis.

I desire to work with you to help you live to a fuller potential - emotionally, spiritually, or relationally. I believe each and every human being has been designed by God, created in His image, to live lives that have hope and peace within it. I will help you identify the fears or unhealthy parts of yourself that have been showing up in your journey and hindering your progress. I will walk alongside you as you take the steps to make the changes that you’ve desired to see in your life.

Our sessions will have a Christ-centered perspective woven throughout, as my work is inspired and informed by God and His Biblical truths. I believe through this counseling process, you will feel more seen and known. I create a safe, warm and therapeutic space, designed for vulnerability and connection.

I work with adult individuals (18+), and customize my sessions according to the unique needs of each individual client. My theoretical orientation utilizes blends of Psychodynamic work, Attachment-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Lifespan Integration techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-based techniques, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy.
