My name is Jessica Harrison. I am a doctoral prepared, dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
I have an extensive medical background that includes primary care, urgent care, internal medicine and hospital medicine. My psychiatric experience includes substance abuse, eating disorders, crisis stabilization, and outpatient services caring for individuals with depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, women's mental health, and bipolar disorder II.
I want my clients to know that I value creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own or putting others first. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and be themselves without pressure or shame.
A large part of my experience involves working with trauma survivors and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. I approach this work with compassion, patience, and understanding, and I believe healing happens through feeling supported, heard, and empowered.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling and Psychological Services, and I currently provide telehealth services in a private, secure setting. I am passionate about what I do, and I believe in meeting people exactly where they are in their journey. My primary goal is to empower you to create and live the life you truly deserve.
I am an experienced mental health professional specializing in counseling and social-emotional support for adolescents and families. I have worked in a telehealth setting for the past 6 years. My work focuses on anxiety, behavioral challenges, and life transitions using evidence-based, client-centered approaches. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can build skills, gain insight, and grow.
I am a clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience in private practice. I specialize in treating adults going through major life events, including trauma, chronic illness, new parenthood, and divorce. I am trained in EMDR treatment for trauma and I am certified in perinatal mental health.
I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.
You can be successful, dependable, and still feel exhausted.
Many of the people I work with are carrying careers, relationships, family responsibilities, caregiving, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together for everyone else. On the outside things may look fine, but internally you're overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected from yourself.
I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. Therapy with me is a place to slow down, make sense of what you're carrying, and develop practical tools that help life feel more manageable again.
I am a licensed therapist with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. While my educational background includes family systems work, my primary focus is helping individuals navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change.
I work with adults, adolescents, and parents experiencing anxiety, ADHD, parenting concerns, life transitions, stress, and everyday challenges. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we explore what's going on in your life, identify challenges and patterns, and work toward meaningful change.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive and collaborative space for individuals seeking help with emotional stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person’s needs.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, and adjustment challenges. Therapy sessions focus on building coping skills, increasing self-understanding, and helping clients feel more grounded and confident in their daily lives.
I hold a Master of Social Work and have experience in clinical and medical settings. I also supervise clinicians within a group practice, ensuring clients receive thoughtful, ethical, and well-supported care.
I have been married for 41 years and am a mother and grandmother. I have have an MSW degree and have been in private practice as a therapist for 27 years. I prefer serving adults and have a passion for individual and couples counseling.
I work with clients ages 13 and up, couples, and families navigating grief, loss, PTSD, men’s issues, trauma, substance use, relationship stress, and seasons where life feels heavier than usual. Some clients come in after a specific loss or painful experience. Others are trying to make sense of anxiety, depression, identity questions, family patterns, or the pressure to keep functioning when things do not feel okay inside.
My background spans addiction recovery, group facilitation, crisis work, and private practice, so I am comfortable sitting with both everyday stress and the harder things people often feel they have to hide. My style is direct, engaged, and real. I use humor when it fits, show up as a full person, and genuinely care about helping you sort through what feels heavy, confusing, or stuck.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Augusta, GA
Searching for postpartum therapists in Augusta starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also list perinatal mental health training or a perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C), which can signal added experience with pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood-related care. Reading each therapist’s bio can help you see whether their specialties, approach, and experience fit what you want to discuss.
In a mid-size city like Augusta, your search may include therapists with local offices, therapists who offer virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can be especially practical for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Beyond postpartum experience, it can help to compare appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Therapist profiles can also show how someone describes their communication style, which may help you decide who feels like a strong fit before you book.
Therapy in Augusta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists in Augusta who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
