Jessica is the world's best therapist. I'm saying it. And it's true. Our sessions together fly by; I'm so grateful for the spaciousness she creates, and the sense of humor she brings to our conversations. When I'm in my trickiest moments, she asks insightful questions that help me think about things from a different perspective. She is so excellent at reminding me to frame things positively! I really enjoy the exercises we work on together; she has a knack for picking out the perfect worksheet for me to contextualize where I'm at. My favorite exercise together was talking through the story of my life -- thinking about what I've gone through in my past, what strengths carried me through my most difficult moments, and how these strengths shape who I am today. Jessica is also really great at pivoting, based on what my needs are. Some sessions I'll need to process my week -- other sessions I would rather try an exercise together. Also: whenever I need her most, she's there for me. Being able to send her messages between sessions has been SO helpful for me; I really enjoy being able to type out my feelings and write up events as they are happening. Her responses back to me are always very thoughtful. I feel heard, and I gain a better sense of how I might like to move forward. I have been holding back all of the cheesy metaphors I've wanted to use, but now I'm going to unleash [just] one: Jessica is a beacon in a dark stormy night! I'm so grateful for her and for our sessions together. They're absolutely 100% changing my life for the better.
