If your mind is running in circles or you're feeling disconnected from yourself, you are in the right place! Hi, I'm Gessica (Like Jessica, but with a "G")- a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience helping people untangle the overwhelmed and move forward with confidence. I specialize in supporting women and young adults through life's big (and often messy) transitions. Whether you're navigating pregnancy or postpartum challenges, dealing with anxiety that won't quiet down, or working through grief of a breakup or shift in identity, you're not alone- and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. My style is down-to-earth, collaborative, and focused on helping you find practical solutions without feeling judged or rushed. I'm especially passionate about working with clients through perinatal mental health issues, relationship and identity struggles, and the anxiety that often comes with major life changes, like divorce, becoming a parent, moving to a new city, or starting a new career. If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I'd be happy to be part of your journey!
Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and equipped with practical tools to help with their challenges. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself- no judgment, just real conversations that lead to growth and change. Client's will walk away with strategies that make sense for your life, plus a little more clarity and self-compassion along the way.
With over a decade of experience, I've developed a practical, insight-driven approach to help you recognize patterns, break unhelpful cycles, and build the skill for lasting change. My focus is on giving you the right tools, tailed to your unique challenges, so you can see the real progress and feel more in control of your life.
I enjoy working with adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and career stress. Many of my clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. Whether you're navigating a breakup or divorce, adjusting to pregnancy or postpartum, or managing work stress, I'll help you gain clarity, confidence, and the tools to move forward.
I mainly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and understand unhelpful thought patterns that may be affecting how they feel. Together, we'll work on challenging those thoughts and finding more positive, helpful ways of thinking. We'll also explore different strategies to manage and reduce the issues you're facing. Overall, I tailor my approach to fit each person's unique needs and preferences.
