About Jessica Balos

Jessica is committed to providing the compassionate, specialized care that every parent and parent-to-be deserves. Motivated by her own navigation of infertility, grief, and the transition to motherhood, she established her practice to ensure others do not have to face these complex emotional realities alone. She specializes in holding space for the heavy stuff—including trauma, postpartum anxiety, and the struggle against perfectionism.

Jessica brings a holistic, systemic view to her work, drawing on over 20 years of experience in clinical research and community advocacy. She has partnered with public health departments to tackle critical issues such as domestic violence, sexual assault, and LGBTQIA+ health equity, ensuring her practice is inclusive and informed by the diverse challenges families face.

Above all, Jessica values authentic connection. She strives to create a relationship where you feel safe, respected, and truly seen. Her sessions are client-led and dynamic—sometimes quiet and reflective, sometimes loud and expressive, but always a human-centered space where healing and laughter can coexist.

The Personal

What's your favorite way to unwind after a long day? Pilates class to reset my mind, followed by a meal that I didn't have to cook and quality family time on the couch

What’s a small joy that never fails to make you smile? I love to watch my cats chase leaves in the yard - they are so goofy!

What’s your go-to comfort show, podcast, or book? I'm a lifelong Star Trek fan, and I love the absurd humor in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

What's one thing people don't know about you? I crank EDM so I can turn boring tasks into a dance party - sometimes it's the only way to get things done

Coffee order, tea ritual or favorite snack? I really enjoy drinking homemade coffee on my back porch - bonus points if the the birds are singing or we have a campfire going.

If you had a whole afternoon to yourself, how would you spend it? An afternoon to myself would most likely include listening to an audiobook, hiking through the woods, and enjoying a short nap!
