Are you feeling stuck and overwhelmed? You haven’t always felt like this. There was a time when you could get through the day without feeling exhausted and anxious. You enjoyed hobbies and activities outside of your home. You spent time with other people and tried new things without overthinking all your choices. I know you want to be able to feel joyful and relaxed again..

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.

The future of psychotherapy is with psychedelics. I have dedicated my life to bringing these tools above ground. I come to this meaningful work with integrity, heartfelt curiosity, and humility after witnessing how transformative psychedelics can be for individuals. I see healing and human connection as an essential aspect of what’s needed for our planet right now and nothing gives me more joy than to see people discovering their vitality and passion for life again. I currently work with ketamine and I also offer support to individuals dabbling with psychedelics and microdosing, providing risk reduction and integration.

At some point in our lives, we are all challenged by a particular event or ongoing circumstance. Sometimes, the challenge becomes significant enough to impair the way you function. This impairment can show up in your life through anxiety, depression, self-destructive behavior, or another way which diminishes the quality of your life. Whether this has been ongoing for you, or has just begun, my goal is to work with you as a team to rediscover and enhance the coping skills you need to improve your quality of life.

Regardless of what you, your children, or your family are facing, you are worthy, and there is hope. I wholeheartedly believe therapy is a place for exploration, opportunity and growth. Throughout my time as a therapist I have helped children, adolescents, adults and their families work through different life stressors such as trauma, anxiety, and depression. I do not approach therapy as one treatment for all, as your goals are unique to you. My goal is to create a relationship and space where you feel comfortable and safe.

Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or frustrated with who you are or where you are in your life? Wanting to make changes, but not sure where to start or how to maintain those changes? As a therapist, I find immense joy in coming alongside my clients to help them understand their core beliefs and enact change. I understand that many of us were not taught the skills we needed in childhood and need a therapist’s assistance in learning those skills. I am looking to work with highly motivated, consistent clients, who are ready to grow and develop themselves.
