About Jessica
Hi, I'm Jessica Verbout. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, a Certified Sex Therapist & Supervisor, and a Certified Brainspotting Therapist with over 16 years of experience.
I specialize in women's sexual health, problematic sexual behavior, and supporting those with uncommon sexual attractions. My goal is to offer a compassionate, sex-positive, and non-judgmental space to explore your feelings, heal, and regain a sense of control over your life.
Whether you are facing intimacy issues, low desire, or a painful past that keeps showing up in your present, you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals, couples, and groups across all relationship structures, utilizing Brainspotting alongside talk therapy to work directly with your nervous system.
I am here to help you understand the 'why' behind your behaviors and bring your sexual self to a place free of shame and secrecy.

Questions Jessica is often asked
What actually happens in sex therapy?
Sex therapy is talk therapy — there is no physical contact, no demonstrations, and nothing happens in session that would make you uncomfortable in that way. We talk. Sometimes I'll offer education, assign reflective exercises, or suggest things to explore on your own between sessions. Mostly, it's a conversation with someone who knows this territory well and won't flinch at anything you bring in.
How is a certified sex therapist different from a regular therapist?
Any licensed therapist can say they address sexual concerns. AASECT Certification means I've completed specialized training, supervised clinical hours, and ongoing education specifically in sex therapy — not as an add-on to a general practice, but as my entire focus. You won't have to explain basic concepts, manage my discomfort, or wonder if I'm out of my depth.
Is everything confidential?
Yes — with the standard legal exceptions that apply to all licensed therapists in Minnesota and Wisconsin (imminent safety concerns, mandatory reporting requirements). Outside of those, nothing you share leaves the session. Your file, your paperwork, and our conversations are kept under strict confidentiality standards.
Do I have to talk about the deep stuff right away?
Absolutely not. First sessions are about getting comfortable, giving me context and history of your life, and figuring out together where to start. There's no pre-determined agenda, no pressure to disclose everything immediately, and no timeline you have to meet. We go at your pace.
