Jessica is awesome. I have not had much luck with therapy in the past but Jessica is engaging and I feel it’s productive and helping me.

Jessica is perfect for me. She has a great way about her that is a mixture of compassion and telling me what I need to hear. Holding a mirror to those things I I know I need to act on. She's great.

I have had a wonderful experience with Jessica. I came to better help in a place of despair and chaos and Jessica has helped tremendously to keep me grounded offering so much care and much appreciated guidance. She is funny, down to earth, so easy to talk with and the best therapist I could ask for!

I have been having therapy sessions with Jessica Watkins. I believe that we have built a good therapy relationship and she understands my major concerns in my life right now. She knows why I have come into therapy sessions and my growth through having these sessions with her. In the past year I feel that I have grown so much in confidence and in my life. I do see a better future for me. I would not have been able to do this without consistent sessions with Jessica and her background in spirituality, psychology, and therapy. She also understands different cultural backgrounds and this is important for me since I have a multi-cultural background. I appreciate BetterHelp.com for connecting me with Jessica Watkins. She is a Very Important Person in my world and in my life.

She is a great mentor and life coach. She has helped me live a normal life like others from the painful past and traumatic events happened in my life. Am very grateful to her for all the help she has done to recover me from a very hopeless painful life I was leading to a very hopeful promising future.

Jessica was a wonderful therapist to work with. I felt like she understood my goals and thoughtfully pointed out my blindspots on my journey in therapy with her as my guide. I would highly recommend working with Jessica and would entrust her with guidance again should I ever decide I need to come back to Therapy.

Jessica is very easy to talk to. She will tell you like it is if necessary, which I really appreciate. Sometimes I need the brutal truth and she is very concerned with helping me get better. I would definitely recommend her to anyone struggling.

Fantastic lady
Written on Oct 30, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 2 months on issues concerning depression
I was a hopeless wreck before Jessica entered my life as my therapist. She is exactly what I need and continue to seek in a therapist. I am a mum, wife and a business owner and I was deeply overwhelmed and depressed. She helped me so much! Jessica is compassionate, listens intently and guides me to clarity and offers me different perspectives so I can understand what I'm going through. She never makes me feel bad for feeling the way I do. She encourages me when I'm onto something good and also offers suggestions on how I can make something/task easier/better for me. I feel lighter, happier and more confident after each session with her. I have had therapists before....she is definitely at the top of my list! Thank you for being so incredible Jessica! :)

Jessica is amazing, she is patient and takes time to understand the context of the person undergoing therapy. She is impartial and focuses on ways to make the individual grow, not just ways to appease the individual. I would recommend Jessica for anyone undergoing relationship challenges.

Jessica's expertise, listening skills, and emotional intelligence helped her understand my situation so she could help me see it from a new perspective. She helped reframe it and offered some coaching. Speaking with her has been so helpful. I feel better now and can see the situation in a new light.
