I believe in transformation - yours (and mine), and that the draw towards the good is irresistible. Whatever challenges you face, there’s a way forward. How you see yourself - and those around you - can make all the difference. I want to know your story, how you tell it, and where you hope it will go. You’ll have a partner as you navigate life transitions and circumstances, learn to better manage difficult thoughts and feelings, change patterns that no longer serve you, and improve relationships. As your unfoldment happens (and yes, it's always messy), you’ll have an ally in this incredibly difficult yet doable work.

Have you been hurt by a past church or religious experience? Has it knocked you off balance and led you to doubt your relationships with other people, with God, or even within yourself? If so, you are not alone. Most of us at some point have walked through various degrees of Spiritual Abuse ranging from mild, disorienting misuse of power to full-blown cult experiences. These toxic systems and Spiritual Abuse don't have to have the last word. There is hope for healing, integration, and attachment repair.

Have you come to a place in life where everything feels completely wrong, somewhere between longing and not belonging? Throughout my 20 years in the field of clinical social work, I have learned that healing is not a linear path, and there is no “one size fits all” approach. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD management, shame resilience, negative self talk, family of origin, perfectionism, grief, interpersonal relationship, acculturation, identity development and trauma. I have a special interest in working with multicultural college students, university faculty, and their families.

Since becoming a therapist, I have been pursuing my passion of providing high quality therapeutic care to those who have experienced chronic, complex trauma and are now wanting to break the cycle and heal. I am a firm believer that trauma impacts our whole beings. And left untreated, trauma takes an emotional and physical toll that wreaks havoc on our mind, bodies, and spirits. I take pride in working with my clients to build a collaboration and empowering my clients to be the expert in their own lives and be the drivers in their own treatment process. I also offer clinical supervision to those working towards licensure.

Do you believe if you allow yourself to feel your feelings you will go crazy? Or not be able to handle them? Do you numb yourself with substances, sex, gambling, etc.? Are your relationships hurtful, abusive or disconnected? Are you so full of shame, regret and remorse that you can barely look at yourself in the mirror? Do you feel broken? If you said "yes" to any of these questions most likely you have experienced some sort of trauma in the past. These symptoms are a response to a deeply disturbing event/s that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope. Trauma hurts.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, damaged, isolated, and detached from our true self. You may be fed up with feeling triggered in everyday situations, being disconnected from yourself and your emotions, & find you cannot remember significant chunks of your life. You may not even remember a time you didn’t feel like this. Either way, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to enjoy a day in which the memories of pain can be remembered without being emotionally & physically triggered by them. You’re ready to wake up each morning with purpose. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself again.

I provide a warm, nurturing, collaborative environment to foster healthy emotional functioning and growth. My goal is to assist you in creating a healthier sense of self. Through my experience, I have come to learn that counseling is most beneficial when possibilities of hope, healing, and action are developed through meaningful conversations. My focus is on helping clients manage their distressful symptoms, identify learned patterns and unhelpful ways of thinking, rewire their brains, reprocess trauma, and access their strengths to use as leverage to work through their upsetting events, fears, anxiety, and blindspots.

Jessica Runde, Licenced Professional Counselor, received her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Illinois University. She has foundational studies in neuroscience, which she feels gives her knowledge of psychology a scientific base about how the mind and the physical brain work together in regards to trauma, stress, and other mental health challenges. She often incorporates this into her sessions with clients in an easy-to-understand manner to understand more about the unique challenges they are facing.

I believe that every story is important and deserves to be heard. Is your personal story feeling a bit heavy and weighing you down? Could you use some help understanding and coping with your story? Asking for help can feel so scary, but I promise to make the process as comfortable for you as I possibly can. Therapy is a team effort between the client and the therapist, but in my office, you as the client will always be in the driver's seat. I treat both children and adults and offer individual and family sessions.

Life can be very complicated. You may feel like you are doing everything possible to make things better for yourself or for someone you love, but have run out of energy, ideas, or both. You may have a relationship with someone you love but just can't seem to get along. You may be a parent trying to best figure out how to help a child or teen who is having problems. You may feel burdened by sadness, fear, or stress. Or perhaps you have old wounds that seem to keep interfering with your ability to create the life you desire.

Welcome! I have learned that healing happens within safe relationships. I specialize in providing a safe relationship for children and teens who have experienced trauma or life challenges. I absolutely love supporting young people. Anxiety, depression, “prickly” behaviors, anger, and relational or school challenges are all typical symptoms of a difficult season in life. Trauma-informed and strength-based care are at the core of my work with clients. My practice philosophy is affirming, and I welcome neurodivergent or LGBTQ+ clients. I will honor exactly who you are while supporting any growth that you would like to see.

Whether you are seeking support for ongoing internal struggles, acute life challenges, relationship issues, or looking to find more calm and balance in your life, therapy is often a crucial piece of our healing and growth. I welcome adults, adolescents, couples, and families who wish to improve the quality of any dimension of their lives - from mental health concerns and stress-related conditions to family and parenting relationships of all types. I have worked with individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences in various settings including schools, community, home-based, crisis management, and corrections.

My approach to therapy is grounded in a deep, interdisciplinary understanding of the human experience. In my work with clients, we address underlying issues by using multiple areas and functions of the brain and nervous system. Rather than solely relying on thinking or talking your way out of anxiety, depression or trauma - our collaboration focuses on creating an environment to help rewire the brain and support real, lasting change.

Life can be hard, unfair, and hurtful at times. But at the end of any storm, there is always a rainbow. As a therapist, my job is to sit with you in the storm. One of the essential pieces to making a change is the relationship between counselor and client. In my practice, I work hard to create a safe and trusting environment where all clients feel comfortable in sharing a piece of their life experiences with me. I have experience working with various mental health disorders and life concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, ADD, oppositional defiant disorder, relationship conflict, LGBTQIA+, minority stress and many more.
