Jessica Ingersoll -MFT Student Therapist
Jessica believes that obstacles are vital to individual growth. They allow us to learn and push us out of our comfort zone. But some obstacles can feel absolutely crushing and sometimes that pressure is just too much to bear on our own. As a Student Marriage and Family Therapist, she has received the training needed to help her clients navigate the various obstacles life brings. She believe it is up to you to decide if those obstacles are going to make or break you. Choosing to try therapy tells her that you at least have a little bit of hope for things to get better. She will take that hope and put everything she has into helping you navigate to the place where you would like to be. Whether it’s a relationship that needs repairing, or an individual that needs healing, She is there, and is there without any judgment or bias.
She works with couples, families, and individuals. She also works with both adolescents and adults. She is especially passionate about working with perinatal and postpartum moms and couples as they navigate that new stage of life. She will work with clients of all backgrounds, including all religions. She works with couples struggling with infidelity or addiction, couples who want a more secure relationship, families dealing with grief, parents who need help connecting to their teenagers, and individuals struggling to cope with anxiety and depression. She is also passionate about helping clients discover their self-worth. She believes every client is unique and just as worthy as the next. She feels privileged to work with every client that comes my way.
I have a few approaches to therapy, depending on what is best suited to that particular client. Emotional Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are some of my favorites. I believe that the best therapy is done collaboratively. The client knows themselves better than anyone else so I believe that their best chance of success is best done when working as a team.
