Jessica Blakeslee is a student counselor-in-training supervised by Dr. Jinnelle V. Powell, Ph.D., LPC-S. She is passionate about making a difference in the lives of others, especially vulnerable children and youth in the Coastal Bend. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi. She enjoyed the island university so much that she returned to it and is currently pursuing her Master of Science in Professional Counseling.  

 Jessica is dedicated to creating a space where people can be their most authentic self without fear of shame or judgement. Her former experience working in child welfare has motivated her to advocate for the needs of vulnerable children in the community, and her aspiration is to become a Registered Play Therapist.

 In her free time, Jessica enjoys taking care of her physical wellness at her local CrossFit gym, reading books, spending time with her dogs, baking sourdough bread, and spending time outdoors.
