If you are carrying more than you can handle on your own: anxiety, stress, a difficult relationship, or a life change that caught you off guard, reaching out takes real courage, and I
want you to feel welcomed here. I am Victor, an LMSW, and I believe every person already has unique strengths worth building on. Together, we will work at your pace to develop
coping strategies that hold up in real life. My space is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and built around your goals. I would love to connect.
I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, and I have been working in the mental health field since 2013. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Limited Professional Counselor (LLPC) in the state of Michigan.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work across both private and public sectors with individuals and families navigating a wide range of experiences, including involvement with the criminal justice system, Child Protective Services (CPS), juvenile residential care, and private practice.
I genuinely love working with individuals, couples, and families. I believe we ALL have a story to tell, and each of our journeys is unique. The experiences we have along the way shape who we are and can sometimes lead us to therapy—not to be judged, but to be heard, understood, supported, and reminded that we are human.
Therapy with me allows a space where you can show up as you are, explore your story, and work toward the life and relationships you desire.
I would be honored to be a part of your journey. ❤️
I am a Licensed Therapist with over two decades of experience, holding a Master’s degree in Social Work since 2003. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families from a wide range of ages, cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and gender identities.

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.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Muskegon
Searching for therapists in Muskegon starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People often look for therapy in Muskegon for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or counseling for couples and families.
In a smaller city like Muskegon, the number of nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger Michigan markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Michigan. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist works, what they focus on, and whether their communication style fits what you’re looking for.
Therapy in Muskegon can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. You can compare therapists in Muskegon, review their profiles, and find someone who accepts your plan and is accepting new patients.
