Jessie Bohnenkamp, LPC

I am passionate about supporting women, with a special interest in maternal mental health and Highly Sensitive people. As an HSP mom of two young boys, I fully understand the challenge of embracing the chaos of parenting young kids while trying to maintain the order and peace necessary for my own emotional well-being. It is thrilling to help women gain clarity about their values, learn to communicate their needs effectively, and create balanced lives that nourish their spirits.

I am a professional counselor, licensed in Virginia, and the owner of Plum Counseling & Wellness, LLC. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage & Family Counseling, and I have completed additional training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Telemental Health & Digital Ethics, and high sensitivity.

Every client is unique, so my approach is tailored to your specific situation. Some of the approaches I utilize include:

I approach every client with respect, compassion, and genuine curiosity, and it is an honor to support my clients through their periods of vulnerability and change. My goal is to show up authentically for each client at every session, and if you make the same commitment, we can do wonderful things together. I can’t wait to see what you’re capable of!

Her goal as a clinician is to walk with her clients as they fearlessly enter their darkest places knowing that “the dark is not an end, but a door. This is the way that a new beginning comes.” (Gayle Boss)

About Plum Counseling & Wellness

Plum trees start blooming in mid-winter, often with snow still surrounding them. Thus, they have been revered for centuries as a symbol of hope, endurance, and perseverance during difficult times.

Plum blossoms remind us that beauty and happiness can emerge from - and even exist within - the difficult times of our lives.

We believe that you already possess the strength, determination, and skills to overcome the challenges that you’re facing or to find peace among the stress.

Our role is to come alongside you, offering encouragement and guidance when needed, and to hold onto hope for you when you can’t quite see the next step. We will teach you to hold yourself with the same compassion you extend to others, and we’ll gently challenge and stretch you when you get stuck.

Acceptance. Kindness. Humor. Authenticity. Connection. Flexibility.

This is what you’ll find at Plum Counseling & Wellness. Come work with us and discover our compassionate approach to mental health and personal wellness.
