JESSICA MUNTON, MA, LCPC

---

For the past ten years I have been working with people with a wide range of mental and physical diagnoses, ethnicities, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I find that I work best with teenagers and adults. I focus on working with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief,  life transitions, relationship patterns, and family dynamics in a safe and client directed way.

I utilize evidence based practices and empathetic care to develop a strong therapeutic rapport with the people I work with. I am trained in trauma informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused/brief therapy, community reinforcement approach, and mindfulness. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for people to work on their goals and self care.

Jessica has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Maryville University. Rehabilitation counseling focuses on helping people with physical, mental, developmental, or emotional disabilities to overcome or manage the effects of their disabilities. She received her clinical license in 2013. 

Jessica has worked at Light Source, a private practice in Belleville, Illinois since it's opening in January, 2020.   She has been practicing therapy full time since 2011. Jessica has a background in working in community mental health, crisis management, and special education.
