COUNSELING INTERN

Hi, I’m Jessica Hardie! I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern studying at Bradley University. My background includes work in the justice system as a probation officer and experience in entrepreneurship. But my deepest insights into emotional and mental wellness have come from my personal story as a single foster mom, and now as a wife, adoptive, and biological mom. I take a client centered, holistic, and faith integrated approach to counseling. I believe in honoring the whole person mind, body, and spirit and often incorporate creative practices, inner child work, psychoeducation, and identity exploration. I believe Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor, and for those who desire it, I welcome prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit into the therapeutic process. No matter your background or beliefs, my heart is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and supported and where we can even share some laughter along the way. When I’m not wrangling kids, I love spontaneous adventures, listening to podcasts, and grabbing a good latte!

MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPY INTERN

Staring January 2026

I am a counselor, pastor, and chaplain who has been investing in people for over 10 years. I received my theological and counseling education from Indiana Wesleyan University and Liberty University.

I strive to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where telling the truth about life’s hardest moments feels safe.

I work with families, couples, addictions, grief, and those in vocational ministry. I offer evidence-based therapy with the option to integrate spiritual direction and Christian faith for those who desire it.

As someone new to the mental health field, I am eager to gain hands-on experience and learn from both the dedicated professionals here and the clients we serve. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals in navigating challenges, building resilience, and accessing the resources they need to thrive. I bring compassion, active listening, and a commitment to treating every individual with dignity and respect to my work. I am excited to learn, grow, and contribute to the meaningful work happening here as I continue my journey to becoming a licensed social worker.
