Hello! My name is Jaleesa. I believe that building relationships is the core of healing. I am a BIPOC and Latinx therapist, rooted in Christian values. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, and CBT, along with various therapeutic modalities. My commitment to honoring my clients extends to all cultures, faiths, sexualities, gender orientations, and neurodiverse identities. In our sessions, we will discuss your life experiences, acknowledging the intersection of your identities and the unique challenges that may arise. Together, we'll embrace the belief that relationships can be the key to greater mental health, whether that's a relationship with yourself, loved ones, or your community. Your mental health journey is important, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. Additionally, we will collaborate to create goals that fit your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths as a therapist encompass openness, a wealth of random facts, unwavering optimism, and a steadfast commitment to providing support. Together, these qualities allow me to create an inclusive and positive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their challenges and find hope.

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a psychotherapy technique used to help people process distressing memories and experiences, especially those related to trauma, in a structured way. I utilize EMDR to help clients process history of distress (trauma, anxiety, depression); and increase their ability to transition to a new way of living.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. With client I utilize CBT to help increase understanding of themselves, and improve functioning by forming new and effective beliefs.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness strategies, emphasizing validation and acceptance of clients' emotions. In my practice I utilize DBT to help clients relate better to themselves and the world around them.
