Jessika Walker

I am so glad you are here! My name is Jessika. I have worked in community mental health for the past 14 years. I recently opened my own private practice called Unbridled Hope Counseling. Right now my practice is telehealth based as I am working to build my new office space. Evenutally my office will be nestled at a farm/nature based location in Humboldt, TN. My goal is to create a safe, comforting setting to promote healing and resilience. I treat children and adults of all ages. I particularly enjoy working with children and start seeing children at age 4 years old. In my work with children and adolescents some of my favorite treatment modalities to utilize include play therapy and trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I specialize in behavioral issues, anxiety, trauma, anger related issues, and adjustment issues. I am seasoned in this line of work so I am open to working to support resolution and treatment options to any issues that may be negatively impacting mental health and functioning of your child. I focus a lot on teaching and building skills for self regulation, positive coping beahviors, and providing a warm, safe space for processing challenging issues while simultaneously working to empower clients to unbridle their hope to make the changes needed to heal from their trauma and life stressors to gain the opportunity to live their best life free of the barriers these challenges can create. I am also very experienced in working with adults. I strive to create an atmosphere to be warm, inviting, accepting, and nonjudgemental. I firmly believe in meeting people where they are and empowering them to grow in areas in which they want to grow. I have worked with adults in navigating all seasons of life. My work has included supporting those through life stressors, difficult seasons, adjustments, grief and loss, trauma, parenting issues, divorce, depression, anxiety, anger, postpartum , marital issues, chronic mental health, chronic pain, physical health issues brought on by stress; the sky is the limit really. I use a variety of techniques to support skill buidling and healthy resolution. My goal again for adults as well as children is to empower them to ubridle their hope to heal and recover from life's stings to ensure they have the opportuntiy to live the highest quality of life possible. Please reach out to me with further questions or concerns! I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with you!!
