Jessie wedell, LGPC (SHE/HER)
Now Taking New Adolescent & Adult Clients
Jessie Wedell, LGPC, (she/her) is a pre-licensed clinician and has a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with over 4 years experience working with clients at the community health sector. She is passionate about working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities who may face unique challenges. In addition to her counseling degree, Jessie will be completing her second MA in December 2025 in Social Justice and Human rights. With a strong foundation in social science, she recognizes the sociocultural influences that impact mental health. She also has an extensive background in dance and yoga and strongly believes in somatic interventions as a form of trauma recovery and to build a healthy relationship with your body. Her goal is to offer a validating space to guide clients through their journeys of healing, helping them reclaim their strength, resilience, and hope for the future.
Jessie's main focus areas include LGBTQ+ issues, interpersonal violence, trauma, and grief. Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in trauma-informed care. Jessie strives to create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, process emotions, and move toward healing and empowerment. Jessie firmly believes that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued on their path to recovery.
Jessie is currently open to new adolescent and adult clients for individual counseling in person in Arlington, VA, or virtually in VA and Washington, DC. As a resident therapist under supervision from Yessenia Arias, LPC, she is offering lower rates than the fully licensed staff and has additional sliding scale availability as well.
