Jessica Wagner

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Hi, I’m Jessica, psychotherapist and founder of A Wholehearted Way Counseling. I work with individuals and couples who are moving through periods of anxiety or depression that often show up during life transitions, including perinatal and postpartum experiences, grief and loss, identity shifts, and relationship challenges whether in monogamous or non-monogamous partnerships.

I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I aim to offer a warm, grounded space where you don’t have to navigate these experiences alone and can begin to feel more supported, understood, and connected to yourself.

Work demands don't pause when life gets hard. If you are navigating a transition, workplace stress, or the lasting weight of grief or trauma while still showing up for work and family, you already know how exhausting this is.

I am interested in helping you navigate these life transitions. I run a small, focused practice with evening and weekend availability, designed for working professionals and academic students. My background spans community health, trauma-informed care, and research.
