Meet Jessi Whetsel, LPC-MH
Sometimes life hits hard. Whether it’s a past trauma that is showing up in your present or a present situation that you are going through, I am here to help! At Better Together, I believe that with a trust-built counselor/client relationship, we can truly be better together.
Hi, I'm Jessi!
Originally from Oklahoma, I moved to Watertown in 2019. I received my Masters of Education in School
Counseling from Northeastern State University in Oklahoma and then went on to complete post-
graduate hours to obtain my License in Professional Counseling. Within my 19-year counseling career, I
have worked as an intermediate and high school counselor, a therapeutic foster care and community-
based counselor, a college campus counselor, and now a private practice counselor.
I am trained in the EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) technique. This uses a technique to calm the brain while processing past trauma that may be affecting the present. The best thing about this technique is that you don’t have to spend time remembering every aspect of the traumatic memory. We let your brain go where it needs to go in order to reprocess your trauma to reduce present symptoms. Some other techniques I use in therapy include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Parts Work.
I enjoy working with children ages 6 and up, adolescents, and adults throughout the lifespan.
