Jessica Durham

Jessica Durham

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I work with neurodivergent women, especially moms, who have trouble turning off their brain and connecting to their feelings. Many of my clients are people pleasing, perfectionistic, and struggle with their relationships with others. As someone with 10 years experience studying and practicing in the mental health space, I can tell you that having a sense of belonging and connectedness is the single greatest predictor of mental wellbeing.

Genuine belonging and connection to self or others may be difficult because you're carrying guilt, shame, self-blame, or the pressure to hold everything together. You may look “fine” from the outside while privately feeling overstimulated, burned out, or feeling a lack of purpose or direction.

Therapy can be a place to stop performing, slow down, and connect to yourself, so you can show up in connection and belonging with others in a genuine way.

Therapist

I am a licensed mental health professional who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood as they work through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Together, we explore those challenges, build insight, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s story. My hope is that clients leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity.

Jesica Hill

Jesica Hill

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hello! My name is Jesica and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Social Work in 2016, my master’s degree in 2019, and became an LCSW in 2025. My experience includes inpatient behavioral health, supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, religious trauma, relationship challenges, and eating disorders. I'm currently a social worker at the VA hospital with a primary focus in substance use and homelessness.

My passion for mental health is deeply personal. I once experienced my own struggles and had a therapist help me find hope and healing when I needed it most. That experience inspired me to become a therapist who helps others feel seen, supported, and empowered through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, discover your strengths, and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

Outside of my work, I’m a wife and a proud mom of three children. I enjoy spending time with my family exploring our community through outdoor activities, local events, concerts, and farmers markets. I also love traveling, experiencing different cultures, cooking, reading, and gardening.

I believe connection, curiosity, and finding joy in everyday moments are important parts of a balanced life, and those values guide both who I am and how I support my clients. If you’re ready to begin your therapy journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
