Jessica Stillman | Administrative Director
Jessica has been part of the Administrative Team at Agape Christian Counseling Services, since July 2013. Her personal mission is to help others find healing and restoration and wellness through God’s grace. Jessica spends most of her time here, coordinating Agape’s website, branding, social media, and other various projects, as needed. She also attends to scheduling and administrative tasks for the Executive Director, and assists in managing the intern counselors.
Jessica’s ambition, initially, was to become a doctor, and she pursued a degree in Chemistry as a pre-med student at the University of Missouri, Columbia. She soon realized that God was calling her to ministry, and while she was completely uncertain of what that would look like for her, she transferred to Missouri Baptist University and changed her focus to Psychology, on faith that it was where God was leading her. When she began working at Agape, Jessica found that is was a perfect fit with her talents and passions, and was exactly where God wanted her.
Jessica believes that Mental Health is an important part of overall wellness and fitness that is often overlooked. She is passionate about Agape’s mission to improve accessibility of professional Christian counseling & mental health services in this community. Her favorite part of her job is the opportunity to provide administrative guidance and support to Agape’s counselors, as they are building a practice and career around their passions and talents, in helping people. Which, in turn, allows them to better serve Agape’s clients. She also enjoys meeting the needs of Agape’s clients by addressing questions and concerns, and matching them with counselors.
Outside of work at Agape, Jessica enjoys cooking, hiking, late night Netflix binging, exploring her home city of St Louis, and writing for her personal blog (click here to check it out!).
