Jill Mudge, QMHP

Hi, I’m Jill from the University of Kentucky’s School of Social Work – Master’s Degree in social work with a concentration in clinical social work. I’m passionate about supporting individuals (teens and up), couples, and families in pursuit of leading more fulfilling lives. Through empathy, compassion, and a listening lens, my priority is to build a foundation of trust and partnership to pursue empowerment, adaptability, and enrichment during our time together. My primary objective is to provide a warm, welcoming environment and casual conversation, complimenting my down-to-earth nature.

My approach to therapy is holistic, seeking to learn about you as an individual and as part of a larger system to understand how you affect one another. I wholeheartedly believe in the strength and value we possess as individuals and will support you in identifying growth goals that create a path toward positive change. My interests lie in client-centered, strengths-based, and cognitive behavioral therapies. However, I recognize the uniqueness of individuals and, therefore, the need to tailor therapeutic approaches to best support individual objectives for growth. I am committed to partnering with you in change efforts to enhance well-being and achieve the opportunity to thrive.

Outside of being a student, I am a youth volleyball coach at a local club. Having been an athlete throughout my younger years and now being involved as a parent and coach with elite youth athletes, I have a shared interest in supporting adolescents’ sports performance and mental health and a strong passion for working with coaches in optimizing their knowledge, skills, and connections with their athletes. In addition to helping my 18-year-old son prepare for college, I enjoy hanging out with my two dogs, Banjo and Olive, and indulging in the newest TV shows.
