Jessica Ekhoff, JD, PMH-C

After more than a decade practicing law, Jessica is excited to bring her critical listening, analytical thinking, and empathic response skills to a new career in maternal mental health. Her own postpartum mental health experience deepened her appreciation for the power of perinatal therapy, leading her to become a dedicated volunteer with Postpartum Support International (PSI). In 2022, she co-led Chicago's Climb Out of the Darkness, PSI's annual event for raising awareness and funds. Additionally, she has co-facilitated one of PSI's peer support groups for over two years and is trained in assessing and treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Jessica is currently pursuing her master's degree at The University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice.

Jessica values the unique combination of life experiences, personalities, and goals each client brings to therapy. She views herself as both a teammate and a cheerleader, supporting her clients through major transitions, grief and loss, and the challenges and frustrations of everyday life. Jessica believes in the innate capacity of all clients to heal through reflection, connection, and self-discovery. She is grateful for the opportunity to help clients find more joy, meaning, and fulfillment in their lives. Reach out to schedule today!
