Jessica Huesman is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who specializes in helping
adults and older adolescents navigate eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, trauma,
mood disorders, and life transitions throughout Northwest Ohio.

Jessica believes everyone deserves to feel respected, understood, and supported in therapy.
Her passion for counseling was shaped by her own experience as a teenager, when she did not
feel heard or valued in the therapeutic process. That experience inspired her commitment to
creating a space where clients feel genuinely seen, empowered, and free to explore their
challenges without judgment.

She primarily works with adults ages 18 and older, as well as older adolescents struggling with
eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and self-worth. Jessica also supports
individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, identity development, mood disorders, and
significant life changes. Using a collaborative, strengths-based approach, she meets clients
where they are while helping them move toward valuable and lasting growth.

Jessica understands that starting therapy can feel vulnerable and intimidating; the process often
requires facing difficult emotions and uncertainties. She believes those challenges can also lead
to profound healing and self-discovery. Guided by the belief that “the cave you fear to enter
holds the treasure you seek,” she helps clients uncover hidden strengths, build self-awareness,
and develop greater confidence in their capabilities.

Her therapeutic style is compassionate, authentic, and person-centered. At the heart of
Jessica’s work is the belief that true healing becomes possible when people feel safe enough to
be themselves. Along with providing an encouraging environment, Jessica gently challenges
clients when patterns of self-doubt or stagnation arise, recognizing that meaningful change often
requires both support and accountability. Clients can expect practical coping strategies, honest
conversations, and moments of humor throughout the process, as laughter can be a bridge to
connection and resilience.

Outside of the office, Jessica appreciates spending time with her husband, attending live music
and art events, reading, thrifting, exploring antique stores, and game nights with family. She
cherishes time with her four cats and taking her senior dog, Mina, on evening walks. Jessica
incorporates hula hooping and dancing for exercise, finding creative ways to fuse movement
and levity into daily life.
