About Jessica Smyder
My Mission
I have supported children and teens in the school setting for almost a decade. In the summer of 2024, I decided to branch out into private practice and never looked back. I am dedicated to providing compassionate counseling support to children, teens and young adults. My office is a safe space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will discover the best strategies for you to manage your mental health challenge.

Parents, I know it's not easy watching your child struggle with Anxiety or Depression. Your mental health is important, too. I am here to support you and to help you feel more confident in responding to your child during their most challenging moments.
