You deserve to be in control of writing your own story! I believe that mental wellness is attainable for everyone. I have experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and identity & relationship issues.

I am a Licensed Counselor trained in several trauma resolution models. My style is eclectic and client-centered with a goal of creating a safe place to help you live the best life for you. I believe everyone has the ability to heal and that the right therapist can help you experience and recognize your true self so you can start enjoying a life filled with joy, passion and love. I specialize in working with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, LGBTQ issues, trauma of all kinds, addictions and relational issues.

People come into counseling for many reasons. You may be overcome with insecurity, paralyzed with anxiety, or chronically depressed. Perhaps your relationships are a mess, your life feels out of control. You cut yourself to feel something other than emptiness, you drink to numb your pain. Life doesn't have to be this hard. There is hope and you can heal. You already have everything inside of you that you need in order to heal but somehow you have lost track of this truth. Life has led you away from your innate ability to heal. Counseling can help you reconnect with this ability and restore balance and peace to your life.

I adhere to the belief that each person inherently knows themselves best; I am here to walk alongside you to offer insight and skills. I view each person I meet with unconditional positive regard. I also consider myself an EMDR Therapist who offers healing through trauma insight. Believe it or not, there is joy (or at the least, less stress/pain) in the midst of all that! I love helping women (and their kids) work to find their worth, and their positive mental health; walking with them as they grow and get strong.

She believes everyone wants to be seen and understood. Her entire life is built upon this truth. Many messages we carry with us are rooted in shame and distorted thinking and we don't know any other way than this. Her approach is targeted at getting to the root of these shame messages, and with new tools and understanding, there lies an opportunity at healing. It works when we do the work, and she will walk with you as you start a new chapter of healing in your life.

Holding it all together is something you used to do... but you feel you have lost the ability to manage your life since the pandemic .... You feel depressed, on edge, overly sensitive...not to mention the 3 AM crazies. The highs and lows seem so extreme! You realize you are more agitated and cannot feel "present." You may be looking for relief more often by numbing out with the latest binge-- alcohol or Netflix...does it even matter anymore? "Is this all there is? Where did I go? How did I get here?" If any of this sounds familiar, there is hope and I can help!

I specialize in treating clients who are struggling with multiple addictions, mood regulation, trauma, behavioral, and relational issues. Many of my clients report struggling with trying to fill a void, feeling lost, or stuck. This may show up as some sort of unhealthy coping mechanism such as an addiction, unhealthy relationships, or a behavioral issue. Only temporary relief may be found until the true underlying issues are addressed. Together we can uncover what is underneath your struggles and address what we find. Facing underlying trauma while concurrently looking at the presenting issues is what I do

Healing takes place from the inside out. All of us have the ability and strength to move into our trauma, process past memories and heal negative self-beliefs that cause us pain. With a focus on developing a strong therapeutic relationship and applying research-based therapy techniques, I look forward to helping you through the healing process.

I believe that our life experiences have a direct impact on the paths we choose to take in our adult life. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am thankful for my up bringing and my exposure to diverse experiences and populations. Growing up in Los Angeles had a direct impact on my passion for helping individuals of all backgrounds. I am a trauma informed EMDR, Christ centered therapist who believes that both mind and spirit need to align in order to find inner peace.

I’m passionate about helping you find ways to overcome difficult and overwhelming challenges in your life by building on your strengths and creating healthy coping skills.

Hello, my name is Jessica Frost and I am a Christian EMDR therapist located here in Surprise, AZ. I work with adolescents and adults and work with a variety of populations. I am affiliated with Christian Counseling Services and offer a Christ-centered and trauma-informed care. I believe in an integration of mind and spirit for healing.

I have found that clients who are the most successful in their counseling journey are those who are ready to work on what brings them in. While clients may not be able to identify their specific goals, they are motivated for a change to occur. Motivation is what propels each client throughout the counseling process to achieve the goals that we establish together.

Currently scheduling clients for January. In-person: Mon, Tues, Thurs nights and Saturdays. Virtually: week days and nights. Reach out now to schedule. You deserve to be treated with an individualized treatment plan designed specifically for you, in a therapeutic process tailored to fit your needs. My top priority is to ensure that the process is as safe, confidential, and as comfortable as it needs to be for you, even if that means referring you to someone else who could better aide you in your journey. Processing trauma, healing, and recovery can be difficult. I know the personal journey of healing and recovery myself.

I have been practicing counseling for six years. I specialize in trauma, CPTSD, and personality disorders by using integrated trauma-informed modalities. I have experience with individuals transitioning through major life changes, mood disorders, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. After working with children and families in-home, I worked with individuals gaining what I believe are the most important tools in therapy; patience and acceptance. I am passionate about system issues impacting our culture, providing holistic care, and being genuine with my clients.

It has been a privilege to work with a wide range of individuals, couples, families, and groups, including children, teens, and adults. When conceptualizing collaboratively with a client, I want to work towards identifying the core, underlying issue. Symptom management is important, but in conjunction with this, we will strive to find the roots of the presenting problem. In this way, we can empower you to be autonomous, empowered, and emboldened.

You are or your child is someone who finds yourself in a constant state of “fight, flight, freeze or fawn” and are tired of feeling overwhelmed. Therapy is here to help people of all ages to incorporate new tools into their life so that they can break out of that long-held pattern. Sometimes the tools we have aren’t working. Sometimes we need new tools. Or sometimes the tools we have just need to be sharpened. I’ll provide you with options for choosing the most effective strategies for you to live your best life. As your therapist, my intention is to provide a connection that allows you to find meaning in your life.

It takes courage to take the first step to break cycles of generational trauma, dysfunctional relationships, repressed emotions, and various struggles that were passed on from generation to generation. Together we can walk the path towards awareness, healing, growth and break those cycles that we once considered the ‘normal’.
