Jessica Vann is a wife, mother, friend, and licensed professional counselor in private practice in Columbia. A military brat who has lived up and down the Southeast, Jessica calls Charleston home. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from Winthrop University, where she met her husband. She earned her Master’s Degree in Family, Marriage, and Couples Counseling from Walden University. Jessica Has always loved hearing people’s stories and learning what made them who they were. While she never formally utilized her broadcasting degree in a media job, she used her interviewing skills in various roles. Jessica started her commitment to helping others by working as a Residence Director working with college students, a foster care case manager with the Department of Social Services, a Clinical Counselor working with HIV/AIDS clients, and the severely mentally ill with the Department of Mental Health. In 2020 just before the Covid-19 outbreak Jessica started her private counseling practice, InVision Counseling, wanting to provide mental health services where clients were more than just a number and a list of tasks to check off. Providing judgment-free therapeutic services that respect the individuality of all people has always been important to Jessica. She began her practice offering sexual wellness therapy teaching individual clients and couples to connect with themselves and one another. As Jessica got to know her clients, she quickly learned many of them experienced traumatic birthing experiences. Many of these clients found it challenging to overcome their intrusive thoughts to connect with themselves again, let alone their children or partner; hearing the stories of these women and reflecting on her own experiences birthing her two children. Thus Mommy’s Hood Community Wellness Fund was born!

Typically we meet together two times prenatally to get to know each other as well as discuss your hopes and wishes regarding your birth. I have over 5 years experience and while I’ve supported parents in almost every situation imaginable, every birth is different and no two people’s needs are the same. My goal is to give you the emotional and physical support you need during each stage of pregnancy and birth as well as the postpartum period.
