  • Hi! I'm Jess.
  • Reaching out for help isn't always easy. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated, or simply tired of not feeling like yourself. Maybe you've been struggling for a while, or maybe you're just starting to realize that something needs to change. Wherever you are in that process, my goal is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and work with you to find a treatment plan that helps you feel better and move forward.
  • I completed my PMHNP program at Eastern Kentucky University in 2022. Since then, I have worked in a mix of outpatient, residential, and inpatient consultation settings, with a focus on general psychiatry and addiction medicine.
  • My practice is focused on helping clients ages 6-65 who are struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. I work with people who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated, or simply like they aren't quite themselves anymore. Sometimes you may know exactly what is wrong, and sometimes you may just know that something needs to change. Either way, my goal is to help you better understand what you're experiencing and find a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
  • I am also in the process of completing additional certification in autism assessment and am eager to help meet the growing need for accessible autism assessment and treatment in the near future.

Therapist

Virtual • West Virginia


Hi, I’m Travis Spradlin, a Licensed Professional Counselor in West Virginia. I graduated from Lindsey Wilson College in 2020 with a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development. I’ve been providing psychotherapy for the past three years and have a passion for helping people find clarity, confidence, and balance in their lives.

I’ve worked with children ages seven and older, using an eclectic approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, play therapy, and humanistic/person-centered techniques. In my telehealth practice, I enjoy working most with adolescents (13 and up) and adults. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to make meaningful changes. Taking the first step toward therapy is an important act of self-care—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you begin that journey!

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you? Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or compulsive behaviors, you don't have to face it alone. Change is possible, and healing starts with taking the first step.

Hi, I'm Jessica, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia. For 16 years, I've helped adolescents and adults navigate life's challenges through individual, group, and family counseling. I provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted by worry, weighed down by past experiences, or stuck in patterns they want to change. Together, we'll explore what's holding you back, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you move beyond survival mode and create a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling. If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honored to support you on your journey.

Jennifer Mitchell

Therapist

Virtual • West Virginia


As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a decade of experience in the counseling field, my passion lies in supporting others to discover their own innate potential to grow and heal. My hope is that those working with me can feel free from mental health symptoms enough to be able to identify their core values, move through distressing experiences with psychological flexibility, and live a value-driven life. By meeting others in their own world, I am able to serve others that are struggling with anxiety disorders like generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, low self-esteem, and depressive disorders. I have a strong passion to help women who are pregnant and postpartum, as well.
