Good for you! You’re here because you’re having difficulty in a relationship; or struggling with depression or anxiety and have decided you’re tired of feeling stressed and want to be better able to cope. You deserve to live your life to the fullest and not allow new - or longstanding issues to keep you from reaching your full potential. I focus on building a trusting relationship which will allow you to explore the changes you want to make to improve the quality of your life. I have successfully helped many clients reach their full potential by engaging in therapy treating YOU as a person, and not a disorder.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Jessica Banford, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker / Clinical Social Worker with experience providing support in both emergency and outpatient mental health settings. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for change. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University and my professional background includes working in hospital emergency departments, where I have completed behavioral health assessments, crisis intervention, and care coordination for individuals experiencing acute mental health concerns. This experience has strengthened my ability to remain calm, supportive, and solution-focused during difficult moments. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, emotional dysregulation, and life stressors such as relationship difficulties, financial stress, and transitions. I also worked a outpatient community health center providing therapy to all populations including all ages. I also have experience supporting adolescents and young adults, as well as collaborating with families and support systems. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strengths-based. I often incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), focusing on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and increasing overall resilience. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported. I look forward to working together to help you reach your goals and improve your overall well-being.
I genuinely care about their journey and understand that healing isn’t always linear. I combine compassion with clinical expertise to help individuals feel understood, supported, and confident in reaching their goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Detroit
Finding the right therapist for OCD in Detroit starts with looking for a provider who has specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder. OCD involves persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions), and it responds best to targeted approaches. Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is one therapy approach that may be used for OCD, and a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what approach may be appropriate. Some people may also explore medication options with a psychiatrist, either on its own or alongside therapy, depending on guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.
With providers practicing across Detroit and nearby areas like Dearborn, Royal Oak, Ferndale, and Grosse Pointe, narrowing your options can take time. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LMSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who lists OCD as a specialty and has experience with ERP or related evidence-based methods. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their clinical approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.
Therapy for OCD in Detroit can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
