All About Jessica Valladares, MS, LPC, LMHC

I am licensed to practice therapy in Washington and Texas.

Nurture Counseling was born from my passion for supporting individuals through life’s transitions, especially during the challenging and transformative moments of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own experiences navigating the challenges of life’s big transitions. From pregnancy to postpartum, I’ve felt firsthand how overwhelming these seasons can be, and it inspired me to create a space where others could feel supported, heard, and understood.

I specialize in helping individuals and parents find their footing through all the change —whether you're expecting, adjusting, or just trying to keep it all together. Life can feel like a lot to handle at times, and my goal is to help you find balance and clarity, without the pressure of having to do it all perfectly.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as you are, and together, we’ll work on creating tools and strategies to help you feel more like yourself again. No judgment, no expectations—just a space where you can breathe and explore what comes next. I work with individuals (age 18+) and couples. Some of my special interests include:

• maternal mental health

• preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum mental health

• depression

• anxiety

• OCD

• women’s issues

Allied communities:

• women of color

• racial justice

• LGTBQIA+

• sex workers

• body positivity

• single mothers
