Jessica Taylor, LCSW

Founder & Executive Director | Brighter Days Counseling, PLLC

With over 16 years of experience in the mental health field, I've had the privilege of helping individuals navigate some of life's most difficult challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and those experiences have shaped not only the clinician I've become, but also the kind of practice I wanted to create.

I founded Brighter Days Counseling in 2020 with a simple vision: to create a place where people feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. I wanted to build something more than just another mental health practice. I wanted a welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves, where their individual needs come first, and where quality, compassionate care is always the priority.

One of the greatest compliments I've received throughout my clinical career is hearing clients say, "I've never felt so comfortable with someone so quickly before." That has always stayed with me because I believe the connection between a client and their provider is one of the most important parts of the healing process. It's also something I strive to carry throughout every aspect of Brighter Days.

As our practice has continued to grow, my role has evolved from providing direct therapy to focusing on the leadership, development, and daily operations of Brighter Days Counseling. While I'm no longer accepting new clients, my passion for mental health and helping others hasn't changed. Today, I have the privilege of supporting an incredible team of licensed therapists and psychiatric providers who share the same commitment to individualized, compassionate care.

My goal is to ensure that every person who walks through our doors feels welcomed, respected, and confident in the care they receive. Whether someone is seeking therapy, psychiatric medication management, or a combination of both, I want Brighter Days to be a place they can trust.

I'm incredibly proud of how far we've come since opening our doors in 2020, and even more excited about where we're headed. What started as a personal passion has grown into a team of dedicated professionals working together with one common purpose: helping people improve their mental health and quality of life.

At the heart of everything we do is the same mission that started it all: Building a Better You for Brighter Days Ahead! ☀️
