Trauma Focused Therapists in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi my name is Jessica and I would like to welcome you to the start of your new journey to finding the best you. In life we go through many different trials, tribulations, and experiences that shape us to be who we are today. Are there bumps in the road? Of course there are. But can we overcome them? Of course we can, and it starts today

Are you feeling stuck? Do you bottle up your feelings? Do you feel misunderstood? Do you and your loved ones struggle to communicate? I offer a safe space to explore what is getting in your way, and what steps you'd like to take to change. I treat a wide range of individuals, couples, and families. I have the most experience with people seeking to resolve relationship issues, address their interpersonal trauma history, and work through transitions.

Feeling Stuck? Struggle with anxiety, depression or the impacts of past trauma? You're Not Alone. As a therapist and fellow human, I'm here to support your journey of self-discovery. My approach is relational, warm and affirming. I create a safe, confidential space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Harmful experiences often occur in relationships, and I believe a nurturing therapeutic relationship can foster profound growth and healing. Together, we'll prioritize what matters most to you, as we work towards reconnecting with your sense of self and what is meaningful to you.

I am so happy you are here! Seeking support can be intimidating, but it is an integral step in your healing journey. I believe in the importance of a collaborative therapeutic relationship and act as a partner to individuals seeking to heal from past experiences, process difficult emotions, and create a life full of joy and purpose. I will work alongside my clients to tailor unique interventions to meet their specific needs while fostering a sense of empowerment and self-discovery.

Accepting new clients! ¡Aceptando nuevos clientes! Are you going through a difficult time, finding yourself in a rut, or trying to break free from intergenerational trauma to become a better version of yourself? You don't have to do that alone! I'm a bilingual Spanish Speaking Licensed Therapist with over 7 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I'm experienced in Evidenced Based Practices such as Trauma Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Therapies, Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Crisis Intervention.

If you struggle with inner conflict or feel disconnected, inadequate or lost, there may be deeper roots to address. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, feeling pressure to conform to outer expectations and neglect your own truth, all could stem from past trauma. Complex trauma, familial or systemic, can lead to internalized guilt, shame or self-abandonment. You may feel confused, resentful, tense, hopeless or shut down. Yet, you are not doomed to stay stuck in this difficult loop. Healing is possible and can illuminate a path to more self-acceptance, authenticity, and better relationships with others and especially yourself.

Hello! We have yet to meet, but I’m already proud of you for seeking help. It’s incredibly hard and frustrating, especially if you’ve done it before, but the fact that you’ve started searching is a big deal. Were you told to "get over it?" Or, had your concerns and struggles dismissed? In my practice, we don't get over our difficulties - we work through them, and that takes time. I want to be there to help you through that journey. To feel supported and cared for. To heal in a safe, judgment-free space. And to gain a sense of control over your life.

Embarking on a journey toward healing and purpose can be equally hopeful and daunting. Maybe you have experienced trauma that is currently resurfacing in disruptive ways. Or, you have challenges with engaging in fulfilling relationships. Perhaps you're starting to realize that your familiar coping strategies have stopped serving you. Whatever the hurdle is, I'm glad you're here. I work with folks who have granted themselves the permission and grace to explore issues related to their emotional distress, intersecting identities, complex trauma, maladaptive relational patterns, addictive behaviors, and self-acceptance.
