Jessica Mess, LPC (EMDR therapist & Clinical Supervisor)
"Every step of the journey is a profound opportunity for healing and transformation." -Unknown
"As a therapist, I believe in the power of collaboration between you and me, recognizing that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to be a guiding presence, offering support, encouragement and expertise whenever necessary. By incorporating a range of evidence-based practices, I aim to provide a comprehensive healing experience that encompasses all aspects of life. In understanding mental health as a crucial, yet often 'invisible' force that impacts daily functioning, I acknowledge that it's not solely confined to the mind. It intertwines with bodily experiences and is influenced by environmental and social factors.
I strongly believe that true healing from trauma goes beyond cognitive means; it involves working with the whole person to process and overcome the symptoms. Together we will explore the depth of your experiences, identify strengths and navigate challenges to promote lasting positive change."
