Jess Hooks, CSW

About Jess:

The world is a buffet of experiences and Jess is determined to sample everything it has to offer. During their free time, that means soaking in Utah’s vast mountain ranges and searching out beautiful new places. They also love personal growth, whether by learning new languages, practicing baking, or training in new therapy skills.

Jess earned a BS in Family Life and Human Development from Southern Utah University in 2019 before heading south to Arizona State University where they earned a Masters of Social Work in 2023. They are also trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, and self-compassion practice.

They have a particular interest in working with the neurodivergent community, LGBTQIA+ community, and individuals on the obsessive compulsive spectrum. That said, Jess isn’t picky—they love getting to know all of their clients and learning just how cool and unique each person really is.

Parent Feedback

We transferred to Families First about 6 years ago when our long time & only pediatrician moved out of state. I had worked with her in a large pediatric office before having children and am probably a bit particular about who I trust with my children’s health care. I have been so impressed with each office and provider we have dealt with at Families First. Especially Mitch Petersen, our primary pediatrician for all 6 of my kids. He’s awesome, my kids love him and he’s great at teaching & explaining and making everyone comfortable. Love all their services, including the newish counseling office. Valerie has been so helpful with one of my children. Loved that my 5 year old could get her ears pierced at one of the offices too.
