Jessica Buice

Jess recently joined the Mountain Crest Counseling team and graduated with an M.A. Ed. in Counselor Education from Virginia Tech in May of 2021. Jess has worked in the mental health field for over ten years, serving in case management, crisis response, in-home therapeutic contexts, and most recently as a Professional Counselor Associate in a high school environment.

 

Jess operates from the lens that we are all doing the very best that we can with the tools that we’ve been given. She believes that each of us has the capacity to hone new skills, heal from the past, and find greater alignment within our bodies and our lives. Jess utilizes a person-centered approach, engaging empathic connection and unconditional positive regard to provide a safe space for personal healing. Jess incorporates existential, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness techniques to provide avenues for achieving greater self-understanding and alignment and considers it a true privilege to sit with folx in the processing of life’s grey areas
