Social Work Consulting and Counseling, LLC has been operating since 2016. It was founded out of a need for me competent black mental health advocates, therapist, and consultants. It started with one unpaid presentation focused on “We all have mental health, but we all do not have mental illness” from a black resourceful therapist who wanted to dispel myths about mental health and normalize therapy: esp. in the black community. It was history from there, and as a result community members and organizations continued to ask for more! To date, we have provided presentations to government employees, non-profits, universities, and local grass root organizations about how to engage communities of color to “Try Therapy”, racial trauma, systematic racism, ethics, suicide prevention, mental health Level of Care (LOC), impacts of gun violence, and 8 types of self-care. Mental Health Ts was created in 2018 to further our reach to normalize mental health and therapy. 

OUR MISSION IS TO H.E.L.P. (HEAL. ENLIGHTEN. LIBERATE. PLAN.) WITH EVERYONE WE SERVE.

We strive to provide high-quality, ethical, and culturally responsive services to individuals, families, and communities. We strive to empower our clients to navigate life’s challenges and achieve their goals by utilizing evidence-based practices, promoting social justice and equality, and fostering a safe and supportive environment for all.

OUR VISION is to create a world where every individual has access to compassionate and comprehensive social work consulting and counseling services. We aspire to be leaders in the field, driving innovation and excellence in practice, research, and education. We envision a future where individuals, families, and communities thrive, and social justice and equity are at the forefront of all decision-making processes.

Jessica Gurley is the owner of SWCC. What sets Jessica apart from other social workers is her diverse work experiences.

Jessica has worked at the highest level of mental health treatment by working on both community and Veteran inpatient Psychiatic units, helping those with suicidal and harmful behaviors improve their outcomes. During her time at Pittsburgh’s Veterans Affairs working as an inpatient psychiatric Social Worker, she was able to decrease the overall length of stay for all three floors and discharge long-term stay Veterans that were hard to discharge with her knowledge of community services and expertise in creating behavioral plans for families and facilities they were being discharged to. This helped her be promoted two more times during employment there.  Jessica has also worked for some of Pittsburgh’s most respected non-profit organizations. She has experience presenting to diverse audiences like professional social workers, Veteran Affairs (VA) staff, nurses, and legal and county representatives. Jessica always communicates in a way that is culturally sensitive. She is confident when presenting to expert professionals, and skilled at including new professionals.
