Jessica Perkins

Do you ever feel stuck, alone, or disconnected from the world around you? If so, you are not alone, and I would be honored to be someone with whom you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My name is Jess, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults. In addition to seeing clients on Headway, I work full-time as a licensed school social worker serving students in kindergarten through 5th grade. My background also includes private practice work with children, adolescents and adults, giving me a well-rounded perspective on the unique challenges people face at different stages of life.

In my free time I love to garden, hang with my family and kiddos, macrame, paint, create, meditate, practice sound healing, hike, camp, and listen to music.

I strive to create a space that feels warm, compassionate, and welcoming. If you are looking for someone who is friendly, supportive, and deeply committed to helping you navigate life’s ups and downs, you have found the right person. I believe in empowering my clients, highlighting their strengths, and walking alongside them as they work toward growth and healing. My goal is to help you feel understood, capable, and confident as you move forward. Together, we will work toward helping you move through obstacles, build on your strengths, and reach your full potential.

I also want to share that I am a mom and understand firsthand that parenting brings its own unique challenges. Navigating your own worries, responsibilities, and emotions while also caring for and guiding little humans is no small task. As a mom, I truly understand the balancing act, the stress, the pressure, and the deep love that comes with it.

During our first session together, my focus is on getting to know you and understanding what has brought you to therapy. I will meet you where you are emotionally and create a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment. You can expect me to ask thoughtful questions so I can better understand your experiences, strengths, and goals. This helps me tailor our work together in a way that feels meaningful and helpful as we begin our journey together.
