Jessica Mangan , LPC

Jessica Mangan brings two decades of clinical experience to her counseling practice, combining formal training with work in a variety of challenging settings. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University in 2005 and holds licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC, as well as a Limited License Psychologist in Michigan. The LPC credential indicates authorization to practice professional counseling in the state.

Her career has spanned crisis units, community mental health centers, and correctional facilities, and she has served in leadership and staff training roles in addition to direct clinical work. That breadth of experience informs a practical, skill-focused approach to therapy and an ability to meet people where they are during difficult transitions.

Much of Jessica's clinical emphasis has been on sexual addictions, substance use, anxiety and stress, and trauma and abuse. She works to help clients gain insight, develop coping strategies, and adopt tools that can be used immediately to support change. Her work draws on evidence-based methods including solution-focused counseling, cognitive behavioral techniques, psycho-education, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and a humanistic stance that centers the person's values and strengths.

Jessica aims to build a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship that fosters a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere and supports clients as they work toward healthier, more satisfying lives.
