The way out is in.
— Thich Nhat Hanh

I’m glad you are here! My name is Jessica Hurda MS, LPC, CCTP. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania, Certified EMDR Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).

I hold a B.S. in Child Development and Family Studies (2010) from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and an M.S. in Mental Health Counseling (2015) from Walden University. With specialized training in trauma-focused therapies, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care to support healing and growth.

I offer personalized EMDR Intensive Therapy Packages designed to help you quickly break free from PTSD and trauma symptoms. With years of experience in trauma-informed care, I take an integrative approach, tailoring each intensive to your needs. While EMDR is the foundation, I also incorporate Polyvagal theory, parts work, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation to support whole-self healing.

With a grandfather, father, and two brothers as firefighters, I deeply understand the culture, sacrifice, and mental toll of first responders. Their dedication inspired me to specialize in trauma therapy, driven by a passion to support first responders and the communities they serve.

Outside of counseling, I love hiking, backpacking, running, reading, stargazing and spending time with my two pit mix rescues, Oona and Sadie.

The mind, body, and soul are resilient. I’m here to support your journey to accelerated healing and thriving.
