Jessica Plancich, MA, MFT, CMT

Jessica Plancich teaches, guides and assists others to reach their greatest potential as her foremost passion in life. This California native found that others naturally came to her with their life stories, questions and challenges. As a competitive athlete, equestrian and lover of the outdoors, she was indoctrinated at an early age into the world of men's psyches, struggles and personal challenges. These early influences helped forge a steady and persistent path toward coaching men to be exceptional.

In an effort to best marry these interests, Jessica pursued a career as a licensed Marriage Family Therapist with a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. Over a lifetime of personal experience and 11 years of clinical practice, she witnessed men's struggles in their quest to relate to women. Jessica, recognizing that men have had very little in the form of solid information, role models, learning opportunities and support, saw how many felt bewildered about how to successfully engage and sustain fulfilling relationships. She developed compassion for men's challenges with the confusing messages and unclear directives that happen in the midst of romance.

Jessica was thereby excited by the opportunity to educate, support and empower men as a writer, coach and co-owner of AverageGuy, Inc. She offers both a clinical and female perspective on coaching men in their relational and personal journeys. Her professional, direct and yet candid approach offers solid insight and practical directives to motivate and inspire men toward their highest potential.

Jessica works with individuals and troubled teens in both the private and non-profit sectors, including those challenged with chronic mental illness, substance abuse, domestic violence, depression, anxiety and trauma. As a clinician, program developer, manager, teacher and speaker, she has developed deep compassion for the human condition and has a unique ability to outreach and engage those from diverse life paths. She has tremendous passion for working in the areas of communication, anxiety, the body-mind connection, personal empowerment, holistic wellness and inspiring others to live a full and enriched life.
