Getting to know Jessyca Hayward
Hi there, I'm Jessyca.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master?s in Social Work from Florida State University and over 5 years of experience. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, and families on communication, anxiety, depression, behavior management, and more! As much as I love talking with individuals about how they are feeling, I am motivated and passionate about being interactive with clients as we process their thoughts and emotions together.
I also offer a fun option for teens: Mindful Culinary Therapy (MCT), which is dedicated to making the healing power of cooking safe and accessible. At MCT, I love empowering youth to discover and harness their own creativity through food. For many of us, it?s hard to open up to strangers and express serious traumatic or even simple daily issues, but what happens when we keep our minds busy, our hearts open, and our stomachs full? Being able to express your thoughts and emotions in a more relaxed, creative, fun, and inspiring environment gives a person more freedom to become vulnerable, comfortable, and at peace within themselves.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Once you have made the most important step and decision, which is starting therapy, your food journey begins.In MCT, you will gain new and innovative communication, leadership, decision-making, and mindful skills. Individual sessions will be facilitated once a week for at least 24 weeks. Group sessions will be facilitated once every other week for at least 24 weeks. I am currently facilitating sessions virtually, but if you leave in the city of Jacksonville, Fl I am also willing to facilitate right from your home in person!
What to expect from MCT:
. Recipe consultation/ meal planning ideas
• 60-90 minutes of one-on-one Coached Cooking Experience
• Complete meal ready-to-serve to the guests of your choice
• Recipe copies to keep and perfect!

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
