I love working with a diversity of populations. My ideal client has some insight into what he/she is struggling with and a willingness to open up about their pain. I understand that trusting a therapist can be frighting, especially for those who have a history of painful relationships. I am client centered and will work at your pace with the understanding that as we build trust I will start to challenge thoughts and behaviors that are keeping you from meeting your goals.

We will work together to help teach your child new skills including: communication, appropriate play, improved psychological flexibility, and everyday self-care tasks such as washing hands and putting on shoes.
Hi! My name is Jess Hale, and I am a BCBA who provides Applied Behavior Analysis therapy. ABA is effective for teaching children new skills, especially those who are experiencing some type of developmental delay. Such children may struggle to communicate their wants and needs, play appropriately with other children, try new foods, or complete everyday self-care tasks. ABA is also effective at reducing problem behaviors in children, such as aggression, self-injury, property destruction, and excessive tantrums. Whenever possible, I like to use an assent- and play-based approach to keep the experience fun and positive for your child.

My passion is working with kids and their parents, but I have worked with everyone from young children to the elderly and have found ways to help them be more successful in managing stressors.

If you or your child are experiencing any of these, please know there is an active solution to help with this! My specialty involves "tweens" (ages 10-13) with a clinical focus around ADHD, ODD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
**AS OF 05/20/2024: CURRENTLY ACCEPTING A FEW NEW CLIENTS** Trying to focus on one task at a time can be challenging and sometimes boring. Emotions then take over and you find ways to release that tension in a negative way. During this time, it can cause conflict between family members, peers, and/or significant others. These negative thoughts/actions are easy to express and obvious strengths are pushed to the side. Having someone who has gone through this personally/professionally can provide active solutions, which can help develop a sense of ease and comfort within the family and individual.
