About me

Hi, congratulations on taking the first step to a healthier you! My name is Jessie and I am Social Worker with a clinical license in Michigan and own Phoenix Tides Counseling Services, LLC. My goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable and safe to be your authentic self so that you can make the progress you want. I most often use EMDR to process trauma however have training and experience in additional forms of trauma therapy. I combine trauma therapy with DBT and CBT in order assist in developing strong skills and connecting thoughts with emotions and behaviors.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session we will spend some time getting to know each other and exploring what you are looking for in a therapist and what lead to you seeking treatment. This will allow you time to ensure that I am a good fit for you and for us to have an initial plan for your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

In my practice trauma survivors have varying reactions but each have the desire to move forward and feel safe and secure. My passion is to guide clients to be strong, powerful and self-aware. Trauma therapy utilizing EMDR and DBT skills training provides you with the tools to develop positive beliefs and the emotional regulation needed to take back control.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Feel like you can’t trust and feel safe; anxious about new relationships; unable to regulate emotions and reactions? Does insecurity, lack of safety, and inability to trust deny you the life and connections you want? You’re not alone, many people who experience trauma find trust and connections difficult. Imagine a future no longer plagued by your trauma. A future where you’re confident identifying dangers and safety aptly. Processing your past and connecting to your emotions can be challenging yet can bring you a sense of safety and wellbeing. Creating a new sense of self ready to face life with confidence and resilience.

I picked Jessie due to her experience with trauma. I was uneasy at first but ended up practically spilling my entire life story and rambling to boot. She made me feel that comfortable sharing my trauma and my feelings, even the bad and naughty ones.

Working with Jessie has been a breath of fresh air. She offers direct, authentic, and empowering insights during our sessions. This is my second time around doing EMDR, and her approach has helped me address deeper wounds and process my grief in ways I haven't quite reached before. Oftentimes she drops these wisdom bombs on me, that stop me in my tracks and just allows me to see my situation for what it actually is. I'm honored to keep working with Jessie and can't recommend her enough.
