About Jess
Jess Quessenberry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with eight years of clinical work. Jess offers a calm, down-to-earth presence for people feeling overwhelmed by life, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, or relationship strain. Sessions are relaxed and conversational, and humor is often used to ease hard conversations.
Jess describes a casual counseling style that welcomes honest language and real feelings. Clients can expect a therapist who listens without shock and who normalizes difficult reactions to big life changes. Jess aims to help people find clearer choices and small, doable steps forward.
In session, Jess draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Narrative and psychodynamic perspectives are sometimes used to look at life stories and recurring relationship themes. Interventions are offered in plain terms so people can test them between sessions.
Jess works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, identity and LGBT matters, intimacy and communication difficulties, parenting stress, anger, grief, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and body image. Additional focus areas include attachment, codependency, autism and Asperger Syndrome, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and fatherhood issues.
Jess holds LMFT credentials in Michigan and California and practices in California. Sessions are conducted in English, and international clients may be served. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
