Jessie Wells, LCSW, INHC is a psychotherapist, integrative nutrition coach, and an educator. Her mission is to support those around her to live in abundant wellness. She believes that it is in the context of relationship that change, wholeness, and life happen.
​
Jessie’s passion is the intersection of science, relationships, wellness, and spirituality. Her clinical training emphasized interpersonal neurobiology, attachment, mindfulness, body based trauma techniques, and holistic nutrition. She has professional experience in hospital, non-profit, and outpatient mental health organizations. Her passion for wellness and counseling drew her to the social work field where she specialized in trauma, cognitive behavioral therapy, family dynamics, and she became a self-identified neuroscience junky. Jessie loves the brain and frequently incorporates scientific topics into her practice. She encourages her clients with research about neurogenesis, rewiring, and neuro anatomy to help them understand that their brains, relationships, and life can change for the better.

Throughout her time in clinical practice, Jessie underwent additional training to become a Trust Based Relational Intervention Practitioner (TBRI), to be Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing trained (EMDR), and then she completed a 12 month Nutrition Coaching program with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. These programs are central to her work with clients.

Jessie is one who believes that personal experience is often the best education. Her own wellness journeys of healing from untreated celiac disease and other injuries bring a wealth of knowledge, insight, and empathy to individuals who are fighting to live life more abundantly. Jessie’s dream of aligning her business, mental health, and wellness backgrounds was realized with the launch of her Integrative Brain and Mental Health organization. She feels immensely honored to walk with individuals for a short period in their journey as she lives out her mission of supporting change makers as they live out their dreams and potential.
​​
Jessie loves learning from others who are specialists in their fields and enjoys strong collaborative relationships with various subject matter experts. She offers regular workshops and delivers presentations to diverse audiences including organizations, business executives, religious groups, non-profits, and health professionals.

Clinical Coordinator @ Integrative Psychiatry Austin

Wellness, Mindfulness, Mentoring

I am a Certified Health Education Specialist® with an intuitive nature and energetic spirit. With a combined 15 years of wellness experience and 30 years of administrative experience, I am excited to join Integrative Psychiatry Austin.

My personal wellness journey began over 10 years ago with a dramatic weight loss that required serious lifestyle changes, which enables me to live a healthier life. My focus is assisting patients in making lifestyle changes and shifts in perception in order to serve their mental health goals.

Life’s disruptions can leave us feeling emotionally and physically stuck, pulling us out of alignment with who we truly are. When we’re operating from a place of survival, it’s difficult to experience the joy, connection, and sense of possibility that make life meaningful. My therapeutic philosophy is simple: humans were made to do more than simply survive – we were made to thrive. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about reconnecting with the parts of oneself that have always been there beneath the weight of stress, trauma, and life’s challenges.

I blend Ivy League training with real-world clinical experience and genuine compassion to create a space where my clients feel deeply seen, understood, and supported. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Fordham University and my Master of Social Work from Columbia University. I also hold a Level II certification in Usui Reiki and have received training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My work is grounded in an integrative approach that honors the connection between the mind, body, and spirit.

I have a special passion for working with high-achieving adults whose perfectionism was shaped by having to grow up too soon. In practice, this looks like supporting clients who had a parent struggling with chemical dependency or severe mental illness, experienced a high-conflict divorce, or found themselves taking on adult responsibilities as a child. These clients often may identify as the “responsible one,” the “mom” or “dad” friend, or the person everyone assumes has it all together. On the outside, their lives may look successful, but internally these clients feel exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to slow down. Together, my clients and I explore the patterns that once helped them survive and create space for a life that’s driven by authenticity rather than obligation.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll usually find me spending time with my fiancé and our Bernese Mountain Dog, Topanga, practicing yoga, reading, or knitting. I am now accepting new clients in person in Austin and virtually throughout Texas and offer complimentary 15 minute phone consultations.

Holistic Mental Health Counseling

I am an LPC-Associate trained in both holistic and evidence-based therapeutic modalities, supervised by Sarah Arnold, LPC-S. I love to utilize an integrative approach tailored to each individual client.

My main modality is person-centered talk therapy, which is grounded in curiosity, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. This approach is collaborative and deeply empowering. While insta-therapy often encourages you to seek a safe space, I believe in the importance of creating a brave space – one that encourages growth, acceptance, and resilience. I also love to incorporate more holistic approaches to mental and emotional wellness, including diet and nutrition, movement, sleep hygiene, work-life balance, and spirituality.

My role is to help you:

• develop a deeper understanding of yourself,
• find the courage to lean into difficulty and let yourself be transformed by it
• and take the steps necessary to lead a life you’re excited about living.

I specialize in working with young adults who have been experiencing difficulty with depression, anxiety, managing stress, navigating challenging circumstances, poor self-esteem, people-pleasing, codependency, perfectionism, and academic pressure. I am also passionate about working with artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, and deep thinkers who have been feeling creatively blocked, stagnant, or uninspired. I love having philosophical conversations where we explore the tough existential questions.

Because I am trained in holistic approaches and health coaching, many clients also seek my help in finding ways to improve their mental health without the use of pharmaceuticals, if possible. While I am not at all against medication and am happy to help clients in adhering to their medication regimen, I understand that many people have reservations about side effects or choose not to seek help from the pharmaceutical industry. I am happy to provide hope, support, and psychoeducation about ways to boost mental wellness using holistic strategies.
