OUR THERAPISTS
Every individual has a unique story, and your experiences are significant. As humans, we often face challenging and overwhelming stressors. You are not alone in this journey, and we would be honored to accompany you. Jessica utilizes a person-centered approach in her practice, emphasizing the importance of finding a therapist who aligns with your personality. This connection is essential for facilitating your growth and helping you move in the direction best for you.
Jessica has had the privilege of working with individuals across many ages and backgrounds through private practice, school counseling, and school-based therapy. She holds a master’s degree in School Counseling from Manhattan College and in Mental Health Counseling from Buena Vista University.
Her goal is to provide compassionate, personalized support that helps her patients and families navigate challenges and discover their own resilience. If you’re seeking a space of understanding and guidance, we’d be honored to work with you and your family.
Elizabeth Hughes, LPC
Blue Moon Counseling is proud to collaborate with Elizabeth Hughes, who offers EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) services—an evidence-based approach that helps individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress. Together, we are committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed care that supports healing and growth.
As a polyvagal-informed therapist, Elizabeth specializes in helping clients navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, spirituality, and complex trauma with warmth and curiosity. Her approach is rooted in understanding how the nervous system responds to stress and connection, fostering safety, regulation, and resilience.
Elizabeth’s training includes EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP). She also integrates parts work and resourcing techniques to help clients explore and transform deeply held beliefs and patterns that may no longer serve them.
Elizabeth offers tele-health sessions for clients in Iowa and Colorado, accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield and private pay options. She is currently accepting new clients for EMDR and SSP.
