Hello! My name is Jessica Canada-Rudolph and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I received my Master's degree from Alliant University and have been practicing for 5 years. I love what I do! I am here to help with things from decreasing anxiety symptoms to improving communication. As an LMFT, I can be a neutral ear to listen with compassion and help you discover your solutions!
In our initial session, I will ask questions to get to know you and what you feel is the problem that is most important for you to work on. We will also collaborate on a treatment plan that will guide our future sessions.
I am a therapist who will listen with compassion and gently challenge you in a way to examine fears and make progress towards your goals. I provide a safe and welcoming space so that you will feel comfortable with expressing thoughts, feelings, and needs.
Currently I am working with individuals. As an individual, you may be a young person suffering with depressive symptoms, an adult having difficulty navigating through phase of life changes, a person wanting to build confidence, and more. You are ready to give therapy a try (ready to do the work) or return to therapy (finetuning skills) because you need extra support that may not be available from family and/or friends.
Sometimes we can get bogged down with what's going wrong and lose focus on what's going right. I use Solution Focused Therapy to help you focus on positive solutions to problems
With Cognitive Behavior Therapy I help you recognize and change negative thoughts and distortions that help shape your views and behaviors.
Our emotions are at the core of who we are. In Emotionally Focused Therapy I help people realize how to express emotions in a way that promotes healthy growth.
You are not the problem, the problem is the problem. I use narrative therapy to aid you in externalizing the problem so that you can explore an alternative narrative to who you are.
