Jessica Murray, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Licensed therapist helping couples and adults who are done settling for "fine."
Introduction
You’re not here because things are fine. You’re here because something in your relationship, your life, or yourself isn’t working the way you want it to — and “fine” stopped being enough. Good. Let’s get to work.
My Approach
I hope sessions with me feel like a refreshing sip of ice water paired with an hour of some of the most challenging, rewarding work you’ll ever do. Therapy isn’t passive here. By the end of a session, I want you to feel genuinely proud of the work you just put into your own healing and growth.
I especially enjoy working with couples navigating communication challenges and with adults working through life transitions, relationship difficulties, or just wanting more out of life than what they currently have. If you’re excited to do the work — inside and outside the therapy room — we’ll get along great.
After a first session, I want you to feel heard, at ease, and hopeful that things really can look different than they did when you first picked up the phone. I believe most people are doing the best they can with what they have and what they know in any given moment. My job isn’t to tell you what to do, but to help you find your own way forward.
As I like to say, don’t you dare settle for “fine.”
Ready to stop settling? Let’s start the conversation.
