Jessica Kwon

Jessica Kwon

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I'm an AuDHD Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Substance Use Disorder Professional Trainee whose mission is to help people who feel out of place, lost, or different reconnect with their confidence, find a sense of belonging, and rediscover their most authentic selves. My work is grounded in neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA2S+-affirming, and anti-oppressive care. It's important to me to offer a space where people can reclaim their full selves, without the pressure to mask or shrink to be understood.

Since 2015, I've worked in community mental health — supporting adults in crisis as part of a voluntary short-term inpatient crisis triage team, connecting people experiencing homelessness with resources as an outreach case manager, and working as a therapist with kids, youth, and families.

These experiences have shaped my specialties: ADHD, Level 1 Autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. The population I serve are youth 13+, young adults, and families.
