Hello there. You have taken the first step towards healing by just being here. Welcome. Healing takes bravery and lots of hard work, and I am here to support you with your process. I am a Board-Certified Art Therapist, LMFT, and the Owner and Clinical Director of The Artful Healing Center. The Artful Healing Center is a mental health practice dedicated to providing LGBTQ+ inclusive, affirming, and creative counseling.

Hello and welcome! My name is Jessica Millanponce and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I want to start by saying how honored I am that you took time to learn a little bit about me and my clinical care approach. It is my belief and experience that complex-relational trauma and attachment injuries show up in our lives and are the catalyst for symptoms that resemble anxiety, depression, dissociation, hyperactivity and various mood disorders. My approach to care is and has to be gentle, self-guided and compassionate as we explore the inner parts of Self that need attention, unburdening and healing.

Are you struggling with getting back to normal life after experiencing a distressing or traumatic event(s)? Maybe you’re experiencing intrusive thoughts about what happened, feeling consumed with anxiety, overwhelm, or guilt, and you’re now finding it difficult to carry on with your normal daily tasks. Maybe you’ve experienced a perinatal trauma (e.g., miscarriage, TFMR, stillbirth, or a traumatic birth), and are trying to figure out how you can go on after this. Or perhaps you’re a new mom trying to manage anxiety in the postpartum period. You want to feel calmer, more confident, and you are ready to find lasting peace.

Too often, we feel we are surviving rather than thriving. Do you feel stuck in grief or loss, or that your anxiety is running the show? Are your relationships painful or not satisfying?Also-Parenting is hard! Maybe you're a new parent and it isn't what you expected, or even hoped for. Nobody tells you about the postpartum experience -that internal voice in your head that is constantly critiquing the new role of motherhood you're taking on, mourning the version of yourself you once were. Not to mention the pain that comes with a birth plan gone wrong. If you're mothering without your own mother, that also comes with real challenges.

Life doesn't ask for permission before throwing challenges in our paths. You may not be able to control these circumstances, but with courage and support you can keep moving forward and find joy in the journey ahead. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other life stressors that have left them feeling lost. By working together, it is my goal to help build insight into your own unique experience and help you ascend toward the fullest version of yourself.
