Jessica has helped me shift my perspective in so many areas of my life and push forward through stagnation to reach the best mental state I’ve been in in years. I feel she’s helping me tackle things I keep pushing to the back burner.

Even though I've only been working with Jessica Peres for two weeks, I already feel a connection that I’ve spent years searching for in a counselor. Jessica doesn’t just hear me, she truly listens. She speaks with me, not at me, creating a space where I feel respected, seen, and never judged.
She has supported me through layers of personal challenges, from addiction and trauma to emotional health and relationships, and she handles each conversation with empathy, insight, and genuine care. I felt comfortable with her from our very first session, which is something I’ve rarely experienced. It’s like talking to someone who understands where you’ve been and is fully committed to helping you get where you want to go.
Jessica is the kind of counselor who helps you feel like you're not alone, and that healing is not only possible, but within reach. I’m so grateful BetterHelp matched me with her.
