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.

Sandy Crisp, MS, LPC, CRC, LCDC, CCTS-II

When surviving isn't enough anymore.

Life can get complicated, painful, and downright exhausting. Sometimes the things you've survived become the very things keeping you stuck. You may be functioning, showing up for everyone else, and doing what needs to be done, but somewhere along the way, you've lost sight of yourself.

I'm Sandy Crisp, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and nationally certified trauma specialist. I bring more than 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, disability, grief, and major life changes.

I work with people who are tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Whether you're struggling with something that happened years ago or trying to make sense of what's happening right now, we'll work on understanding the patterns, emotions, and experiences affecting your life.

You don't need to have a diagnosis or know exactly what's wrong. We can figure that out together.
