Thistle and Thrive Wellness Counseling LLC
Live better through your strength, resilience & determination
The Story Behind Thistle and Thrive Wellness Counseling
Thistle and Thrive Wellness Counseling, LLC was founded by Jessica Hamilton, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a passion for helping others grow emotionally, socially, and professionally.
Our name is inspired by the thistle plant—a symbol of strength, resiliency, and determination. These qualities are not only found in nature, but also within every client we serve.
At Thistle and Thrive Wellness Counseling, these traits guide our core values:
- Strength
We honor the courage it takes to seek support. Asking for help is a powerful act of self-awareness and strength. - Resiliency
We celebrate your ability to rise, adapt, and move forward—especially when life feels heavy or uncertain. - Determination
We recognize your commitment to growth. Healing is not linear, but your persistence creates the path forward.
Jessica believes that healing and growth happen when we feel supported, understood, and encouraged to tap into our own inner strengths.
