“Jessica is great at really understanding what I’m feeling and why I’m feeling it. She offers not just explanations but actual practices or exercises to feel better. She listens to me without judgement or jumping to any conclusions/labels about my character.”

“Jessica has been a great support for me, mirroring and understanding me, helping me see things from others’ perspectives that were beyond my frame of reference, helping me feel like I’m not crazy or weak but struggling with very difficult things.”

Getting to know Jessica (Jess Whitney) Scott
Your mom might never change. But the way you feel about yourself, show up in relationships & navigate your adult life absolutely can. You can stop second-guessing every decision, feeling guilty for saying no, or spending 3 days recovering from a 10-minute call with your mom. You can set boundaries without over-explaining, trust yourself without everyone's approval, and stop feeling 13 again every time your mom is upset. I help adult daughters of emotionally complicated moms unlearn the patterns they grew up with. Because you spent enough of your childhood trying to be who your mom needed... your adulthood should get to be yours.
I specialize in helping anxious women who feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt. Together, we’ll work on untangling those old narratives, setting boundaries without guilt, and building the kind of confidence that comes from within. I use EMDR, parts work, and a trauma-informed lens to gently explore how your past experiences are showing up in the present - and how to shift those patterns.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I specialize in childhood and relational trauma, anxious attachment, and the invisible wounds of growing up with an emotionally complicated parent. Using EMDR, parts work, and nervous system-informed therapy, I help clients stop just understanding their patterns intellectually and start actually changing how they feel, respond, and show up in relationships.
You can love your mom and still acknowledge the ways your relationship has hurt you. You can understand why she is the way she is and still want something different for yourself. Healing doesn't require blaming your parents or cutting them off. Sometimes, it simply starts with choosing yourself without feeling guilty about it. I'd love to help you get there.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I offer individual therapy, EMDR, intensives, and online sessions for clients in SC and FL. We'll go beyond understanding your patterns, and really work on shifting them on a nervous-system level. I am solution-focused, interactive, and direct. I want you to get what YOU want to get out of therapy, and will ensure we stay focused and shift gears as often as needed to make sure that happens.

Jessica is truly non-judgmental. She listens to whatever is going on with you, is empathetic and comes up with some type of solution. Sometimes people need more than talking it out. She has provided me with worksheets that make communication even deeper!

Jessica therapist is wonderful. My concerns were so complex, and I really dig deep with societal conventions, spiritual and philosophical values, relationship troubles, and career choices. She didn’t miss a beat. She offered wise and insightful suggestions and input, which I appreciate greatly. I wasn’t looking for someone to just complain to… I needed collaboration, perspective, opinions, and feedback. She gave me exactly that, all while remaining kind, empathetic, and completely non-judgmental. She can be trusted to bring you out of any dark spell.

I only had 2 sessions and she was surprisingly great in her field. She helped me more in 2 sessions than counselors tried to in months and months. She knows what she’s talking about, she’s very knowledgeable about addiction issues, mental health issues, LGBT community. The list goes on.

Jessica is amazing! Her responses are always extremely thoughtful and she takes the time to dissect every part of the problem. She’s the best!

I had never been to therapy before, so I was naturally nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I was instantly made to feel like I was supported and in a safe space. Jessica is patient and kind, while still always pushing me to dive deeper into the issues I was there to address. I truly appreciate all the strategies and insight that she has provided me with, and I am much better off because of our time working together.
