Welcome! I'm glad you're here.

There's a lot happening in the world right now. Busy women, therapists, and moms, tend to find me when they're feeling overwhelmed from doing it all.

Whether you're looking for a safe space in therapy or in community with other clinicians, you've come to the right place. So many of my clients start therapy with the statement, "I've never told anyone this..." That's great! Therapy with me is confidential, judgment-free, and validating. I provide therapy to individuals via virtual talk therapy, EMDR, and/or Walk & Talk sessions. I have a special connection in working with pregnant women, new moms, young adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Black, Indigenous, & People of Color communities. Specific issues I specialize in include postpartum adjustment, working mom stress, relationships, depression, anxiety, & racism-related wounds. If you're here for the community piece, check out The Happiest Healers Club tab.

*I am NOT accepting new clients, or hiring associates, at this time. I have a list of referral sources should you need them. Thank you for your understanding!

It’s Sunday. Forget everything else, I’m going to Disney ✌🏽

If I’m not at the beach or a kid’s sports’ game, you’ll definitely find me there! What are we doing first!!??

Follow for more from the therapist who defends Disney Adult & is begging for government reform 💖💖

When you go to Disneyland with a therapist…

You might have deep talks in line, intuitive eating, somatic check-ins, and emotional regulating 🤪

You’re definitely going to have a good time letting that inner child out & connecting to your joy!

We are just some of the Happiest Healers Club who love networking at our happy place. Let me know if you want to join! 💖💖

We all need joy & connection, now more than ever. Peace, love, & Smuggler’s Run.

The helpers are tired.
So some of us recharge at our happy place. Turns out it’s the Happiest Place on Earth 💖

If you want to join us, comment “healers”
We chat and brainstorm and support one another and eat and laugh & trust me, it’s the best networking you’ll ever do.

What’s your recharge spot? Would love to hear! For me, it’s also the beach or anywhere with a good book.

Stay rested & ready friends! 💕
Instagram ≠ Therapy

If by “radicalized” you mean taught me basic humanity? Disney was definitely involved.

I have such a soft spot for this movie. 💜 Pocahontas too. Seeing a strong woman of color stirred something in me, even at a young age. Plus I love the music and I guess I love blonde men too 🤪

Face the music. Breathe. Donate. Call. Seek comfort. Disney. Rest. Repeat.

Let me know what radicalized you, your Disney fave, and how you’re doing 💕
(Movie is Hunchback of Notre Dame, you can watch on Disney plus all you sweet Gen Z babies ☺️)
Instagram ≠ Therapy

With a big hug from Minnie at the end, because we all need that right about now 💖💖

How are we doing today friends? Ready for a week of news, therapy sessions, parenting…?

I know it’s tough. Sometimes I just feel straight up depressed. It’s corny but thinking of my next Disney trip is kind of comforting in a hella privileged way.

In the meantime though, I’ll continue supporting others, donating to worthy causes, writing to my senators, & manifesting better days ahead. 🤍🤍🤍

Follow for the Disney, or the social justice, or both.. because that’s what you’ll get around here.
Instagram ≠ Therapy

TLDR- this truth bomb from my therapist in 2016 hit me like a ton of bricks. And then it changed everything. 🖤🖤

I know it’s 2 minutes but I think our attention spans can handle it! This is why therapy is political. We help our clients feel less crazy. Less isolated. More insightful. More action-oriented. 💫

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Have you had a therapist name something systemic, or political, that opened your eyes & helped you feel seen?

Save this for a good reminder of how to use “therapy is political” in your life, and follow for more! 💖

Hi! To the new followers, to the day one’s, here’s a little about me to give you a taste of what my account is about! 💕

What do we have in common? What do you want to know more about? What brings you here?

Instagram ≠ therapy, but this is a supportive place & I hope we can continue to connect!

Lmk if you’re a clinician who needs the invite to our Happiest Healer Club meetups! Just comment “healers” for that! 💖

I don’t make the rules 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve been posting more on my personal page lately too. In 2020 I burned a lot of bridges doing that, so I took a break, thinking people know where I stand; I’ll just be quiet so I don’t ruffle any more feathers.

Well screw that. Ruffle ruffle baby! We can’t be silent. To be silent is to be complicit. After all, as the great MLK Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” 🖤

If you’re here, thanks for being apart of this community. Let’s have meaningful conversations. Let’s connect. Let’s donate. Let’s call. Let’s look out for our brothers & sisters. 💞💞

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” MLK Jr. ✊🏽

Send this to the secure man in your life & let him know… his confidence is hot!

Seriously though, there are actually dudes scared of a color. Said it made men “soft.” But we’re the snowflakes?

I’ll take my man with some compassion and a side of common sense, please! Thanks! 🤍

Lmk if you agree & grab your compassion crew shirt on my website, link in bio!!! 💖💖💖

Girl math… I need all of these & especially the last one tbh 🍦🍍

What are your calculations telling you rn? Do we burn this place down and start from scratch? Lmk! Send this to your bestie who gets it 💕💕

A bunch of healers who walk clients through grief, trauma, anxiety, hopelessness & healing on a daily basis… yeah we needed this 😮‍💨

✨Adaptive Normalcy✨ is when we cling on to normal, to joy, to safety and community, even more-so in times of distress. It’s not denial, it’s a coping skill.

We had this meetup planned. We chatted about rides and snacks the week leading up to it. We weren’t going to miss it.

And guys, my heart is soooo full of gratitude for this community! We acknowledged what a shitty week it’s been- what a shitty country we’ve been in since 2016 really- and we validated each other.

And then, we talked shop, referrals, parenting, social media, and we screamed our heads off on space mountain 😂

I’ll keep living joyfully, they can’t take that from me. It’s a privilege 10000%, but it’s our right & it keeps us going in the fight.

Today it’s back to reality but yesterday the bubble was so nice 💖

Comment “healers” if you want to join us! Follow for more. 🖤🖤🖤

We’re living through unprecedented times where nothing is normal.

Maybe you started posted online to gain clients (me), educate & support others (also me), or build community (me again). And now we’re like… what do I do here?

Please know, this is a very privileged problem to have. But to everyone feeling pressure & discomfort, I see you & validate that entirely. 💕

I’m not saying you have to post anything. If you don’t have the education or energy, don’t do it! But if you act like everything is fine right now… I think you’re mistaken.

Take care of yourselves, support offline, & comment if this resonates with you! 🤍🤍🤍

1. You open your Instagram feed and see Disney accounts posting about the newest food items, & you share them with your partner saying “need.”

2. Sometimes you find yourself checking the app for ride times even though you’re not at the park.

3. You have a collection of ears, loungeflies, & other merch for your Disney bound days.

4. You look forward to new Disney movies, rewatch classics for nostalgia, & obviously have a Disney+ account.

5. You find yourself convincing friends to go, giving them advice, & are always looking forward to your next Disney trip!

How many of these are you? Comment the number below! And add more Disney adult behaviors I missed! 💖

I’m a proud Disney Adult, the therapist who defends Disney adults (@sfgate ), & I gather therapists there for joyful networking!! So excited for our visit this weekend 💫💫 Follow for more, thanks for being in our happiest community! 💕

Who else is crushing it? 🤪 Raise your hand loud and proud in the comments! 🙋🏽‍♀️

And if you’re already behind… I ain’t judging 😘
You’ll get to them, I know you will!

Send this to your work bestie for funsies. Happy new year if I’m still allowed to say that!
@jessicavickersmft @happiesthealersclub

Some folks will hate, but that’s ok! We know what Disney is for us -

💫 a safe space (literally)
💫 a place designed to spark joy
💫 somewhere we can connect with our inner child
💫 full of yummy treats and cute merch 😜😋

What is Disney to you? Are you coming to our January meetup?! Let me know in the comments, or comment “Healers” for the invite!
Follow for more from the Disney loving therapist 🫶🏽

Where are my therapists who can relate?!

Have you ever had this experience- like people get uncomfortable when they find out you’re a therapist?

What do you want to say to them to get them to realize you’re off the clock and just a human too?!

Share this w your therapist besties who get it!
Follow for more from a Black therapist who works with moms & supports other therapists in finding joy on the daily! 🤍🤍

Healers- as we reflect on the past year & look toward the next, I hope we can intentionally honor ourselves in even the simplest way 🤍

What mantra speaks to you? Any others you’d like to share?

Drop it in the comments, share this with your therapist community, & follow for more!

Cheers to 2026 bringing health, abundance, peace, & clarity to you all 💕💕

I say, “I’m a Virgo” ♍️ 💁🏽‍♀️😆
No but for REAL- how do we do it “all?” The job, being present with kids, PTA, sports commitments, cooking healthy meals & nurturing our relationships? 😮‍💨

💫 We ask for help/outsource help.

💫 We make sacrifices here and there (all those things don’t get done in a day, on a heavy work day maybe it’s In-N-Out for dinner, etc.)

💫 We have our partner take on some mental load. Make them own sports, or Costco trips, or whatever!

💫 We take care of ourselves. Sleeping, hydrating, exercise, & therapy are key for me.

Just a good starting point for you busy people! If you are guilty of filling your time with alllll the things, I see you. I am you! It’s a superpower if you harness it.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments, & follow for more! 💕

Dreaming about these holiday treats at Disneyland while I’m sitting at home on a blocked out pass 😂

Do you like the treat that matches your sign? Which one’s your favorite?

I like to keep my weekend posts for Disney, because we all need a bubble to escape to from time to time 💖

Follow for more & if you’re going to the parks this week, get a holiday treat for me! 💫✨

I’m not saying one little pedicure is going to fix everything. But it’s a step in the right direction. 💫

Taking time to check in with your mind, body, & spirit is crucial. Operating on auto-pilot and exhaustion is a great way to burnout, lose your patience with your kids, and feel like you’re struggling through this winter break. I say that with love 💕

And not to get too deep with it, but, patriarchy & capitalism want us burned out! Because then we need them more! Let me know in the comments if you have thoughts or questions on that. That might be for another post 😅

I’m here to support, & as always social media is not therapy. Thanks for being here & follow for more!

Just sitting here hoping Santa brings me another year of good seasonal cold brews, short lines, Mickey meetings & magical moments ✨

Follow for more from the Disney loving therapist 💓

Can’t wait to network with my fellow therapists & Disney Adults in the New Year! Link in bio to join the #happiesthealersclub ! Or comment Healers & I’ll DM you! 💕

Wishing you all happy, peaceful, restful holidays.
Love, your liberation-centered, Black, Disney-loving, working mom therapist 🖤

I’m not taking the next two weeks off work, but here’s what I am doing, and I encourage you to do the same! 💕

1. Sit down with your partner tonight & map out every day this week. Who’s on what duty, what’s the childcare setup, when are we prepping what food, who’s going to the grocery store tomorrow, everythinggggg. 📝

2. Let go of the guilt with extra screen time. You know what, kids deserve rest this week, and they can watch Home Alone at 1pm tomorrow while I crank out some notes and do some billing. No shame in that game. 📺

3. Setting boundaries with work. It’s ok to say your availability is limited, set out of office email replies, & only prioritize essential tasks. 💻

4. Ask for help!!!! Why are we so not good at this?! You’re not being a burden I promise. Use grandma if she’s in town, or offer a play date swap with your friends. 🫂

5. And lastly, constant mini acts of self care (hydrate, nourish, sit on the couch, tell yourself you’re doing great sweetie….) to sustain yourself. This is a marathon, not a sprint 💫

What’s your game plan for this break?! I know it’s hard… taking the whole time off comes with its own ups and downs, so I’m personally choosing to work a few days (though I’m very much looking forward to a vacation in January!) 🏝️

Comment your tips & plan for this break! Follow for more from a therapist who loves helping working moms thrive 🖤 We got this!!!

Delusional thinking is that 10K followers will lessen my imposter syndrome and help me launch my Happiest Healers club tiered subscription!!

If you’re going to be stressed and do something, might as well do it with 10K followers?

Idk, but I appreciate your follow! If you like Disney, therapy, Black working mom life stuff, this account is for you! Thanks for being here! 💖💖💖

Disney Adults who pose as Therapists for your day job- hi!!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

The Happiest Healers Club is for you! Join us for IRL networking, but fun, collaborative, & full of inner child joy! 🧚🏾

Comment Healers if you’d like to join! Who’s coming to the January meetup!?

And I said I’m going back home to my liberal, selfless, perfect husband who ain’t afraid of me and my “masculinity.” ✌🏽

My jaw was on the floor. I know I shouldn’t be surprised if you look at how this current administration was voted in, but… it felt like I had unveiled a sheep in a wolf’s clothing. 🐺

Insidious threats can be anywhere. Not to make you paranoid, but to support you in taking care of yourself, & to encourage you to stay surrounded by your true supporters. 💕 Please don’t gaslight yourself into thinking comments like this are ever ok!

And yeah, I got a little 50 Cent petty with it too 😜 Girls just wanna have fun right?

Your likes, comments of support, shares & follows are appreciated! This is a community of support & strength. Appreciate yall 🖤🖤🖤

Closest thing we’ll get to a white Christmas in Orange County ❄️❄️

Questions? Comments? Similarities? Thanks for the follow! Instagram does not replace therapy, but as I’m not taking new clients, this is where you can find me!

Plus we have a TK performance, basketball practice/games, and silly me I agreed to present some seminars this weekend 😅

Who else is SWAMPED right now?! Do you have a group chat for venting? Is your partner “owning” certain responsibilities so you don’t have to?

Oh, and please don’t forget the self care. I’m keeping my braid appointment tomorrow because that’s important to me, and I know I’d be resentful if I didn’t.

What are you doing to thrive during this busy season? One day at a time my friends! 🤍🤍

Thanks for the share, the follow, the community! We got this! ✨

Thanks for the follow, thanks for the share, thanks for the comment!!

I’m getting ready to launch a super exciting, exclusive network… but it’s nerve wracking. The imposter syndrome creeps in, but then I remember, I was born to do this! To bring people together, to spark joy, to help therapists connect to their inner child! 💕

So again, I appreciate you, & comment “Healers” if you want the link to join our chat! Xoxo

Listen, I care about your mental health and I don’t want you to be hangry at our happy place!

I hope I don’t get in trouble for this hot tip!

But mobile order yourself like 2 lunches, 2 coffees, and 2 dinners first thing in the morning. Stagger them, because you don’t know what time you’ll be ready for them, but now you have options!

You only get charged for the orders you click “I’m here” for. They don’t even prep the food when you order it, so you’re not wasting anything.

You can also change your order’s time window if you need… but during this busy season, that can be a challenge for popular restaurants (looking at you Jolly Holiday).

I’m not saying hoard for the sake of hoarding, but the parks can be so busy and stressful this time of year, and the last thing you need is missing your bread bowl lunch bc you were in line for Indiana 🙃

Have you done this? Tell me your fave holiday food item and your fave hot #Disneyland tip! 🔥☃️

Sometimes we talk about how Disneyland is our happy place, but most of the time we’re processing deeper stuff!

And sometimes, the most impactful work comes out of the sessions that started off as, “I’m fine…”

Share this if you get it 😉 Let me know if you’ve ever had one of these sessions! ✨

You never feel it more than when you’re one pre-mixed drink deep at Oga’s with screaming children running around you 🙂‍↔️😜

Share this with the Disney adult you want to go to Oga’s with immediately!!

Follow for more & lmk if you’re a therapist & want to join our next Oga’s visit! ✨

We network. We have fun. We give princesses free therapy 😆💕

Come with us next time! We have a January meetup planned; comment “Healers” for the invite!

If you’re looking for clinicians who are nonjudgmental, collaborative, & genuine, you’ve found us 🤗

I’m so thankful for this year of meaningful connection & joy! 💖💖

Happy Monday!! Two more weeks till Christmas people, this is not a drill! 🚨

The conversation we should all be having right now- The mental load of the holidays!!! 🎅🏿🎄🎁🍫☃️

Who’s handling what? I’m talking about
-gifts (including your in-laws 😝)
-wrapping
-meals
-childcare (my kids get THREE weeks off!!!)
-decorating
-end of year chores/tasks
-what else????

Who handles what in your home? Is it split fairly? I love @jimmy_on_relationships if you need help getting your partner on board. He does some great role plays 😂

Follow for more and let me know how this convo goes for yall. Remember to approach it with curiosity, compassion, & a team-like attitude rather than the old “I’m exhausted and you never do X”…. You got this! 💞

Wrapped- The Happiest Healers Club! ✨

We are therapists who believe in joy, connection, & networking without stress or competition. We literally giggle and fangirl while discussing insurance panels.

Oh, and we get our steps in & find all the yummiest treats 🥰🥰

Exciting things are coming in 2026 🤪 So get in now and watch your network grow in a way that’ll make your inner child squeal with delight 💖💖

For those feeling a bit like The Grinch this year…

Know that you’re so not alone! Majority of the folks I’ve talked to this week have felt so bummed about the holidays. So here’s what I propose 💖💖

✨Magical gratitudes ✨

It’s SO #happiesthealersclub coded 😊
We’re gonna change our brain chemistry baby!!!

Follow @jessicavickersmft for the rest of my magical gratitudes, & please comment your #magical #gratitude for the day!!!

It’s that time of year again when we’re extra extra overwhelmed (I mean every month tbh but December is a whole other beast)..

So here’s what you can say if you hear one of these frustrating phrases! In order of least to most spicy 🌶️

(First, try to know the intention behind their message. Are they trying to be supportive, or are they truly dismissive)…

🤍 I appreciate you but I got this!
💛 It’s not always that simple, but thanks for the input.
🧡 Actually, here’s why that isn’t helpful-
❤️ Respectfully, f*<! off!

Which one are you giving 🤪 Let me know your thoughts on this. Hang in there mamas, it’s a wild month! (Hopefully so full of joy too!!!) 💕💕

It was a month low in financial gain, but high in family time, personal rest, gym sessions & @happiesthealersclub growth! 💖💖

How was your November? Are you worried about December with holiday time off? Let’s talk about it! 🤍

Therapists, how are we doing?? Sessions in between the holidays can be a lot!
Drop your heart here-

❤️ I’m good! Do what you love, love what you do!
🧡 A little drained but it’s ok, this is sustainable.
💛 Ready to quit, girl! We are not alright!
💜 Pivoting / Something different!

Follow @jessicavickersmft & shop @happiesthealersclub for happy therapist merch 😊

Pride ears give me strength!! 🌈

Disney adults, how are you feeling about this? Are you making a reservation for that day?

Happiest Healers Club (therapists who love Disney)… where we at? Can we protect our peace while also protecting our happy place?

I’d love to hear thoughts. My main takeaway-
If you need to “takeover” a place dedicated to inclusivity, magic, kindness, and children… maybe you don’t stand with those ideals to begin with? 🤔

Because for me, I can just attend on any given day, knowing I belong and am welcome there. 💖

Keep it kind, get your compassion crew gear today, & follow for more from a Disney loving therapist! 💕

Do I tell my clients to go to Disney when they’re feeling low? Sometimes… 🤭🤭

It’s a bubble & we all need our safe spaces, ok?!

Who’s with me?!

Therapists who love Disney, come join us for a fun get together in the parks! It’s the best networking you’ve ever done I swear. DM me for details. If you’re already coming, comment below!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Do the thing, take the leap. In your personal life, in your professional life.. just go for it! ✨

Let me know if you’re coming to our Dec meetup, or if you need the info!

The gang’s all here! (Let’s be clear though, this day belongs to Pocahontas ✊🏽)

Which one are you? What are other Disney characters up to today? How are you handling the day- stress, family, travel…

Me, I’ve got Daisy in me and I’m not ashamed to admit it 😆 She’s a queen as far as I’m concerned!

Happy Thanksgiving friends. I’m grateful for this community that lets me be the Disney-loving therapist, lets me vent about how messed up this country is (we know today is problematic), & lets me be human too. 🖤🖤🖤

May you enjoy today with peace and loved ones! 💕

‘Twas the day before Thanksgiving…

Just some thoughts & jokes from me to you (no AI was used if you can imagine that 😜)

How are you doing? Burnt out? Excited? Tired? Grateful? Does this resonate? 💕

Let me know & follow for more, from a therapist who’s also a mom, Black woman, Disney adult, & small business owner 🖤🖤🖤 @jessicavickersmft

This one is for the folks who are feeling burnt out. The people who are anxious about going home for the holidays. The sisters doing the most and feeling unappreciated. 🖤🖤🖤

Holidays can be tough! You are not alone. Use these mantras to get you through, and please let us know what you would add! (That last one though 🔥🔥)

Which one hits? Share this with a friend who deserves these gentle messages.

And follow these Black therapists for more! 🖤
