Jessica Jarman

I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community because I am part of that community. You should never have to educate, defend or explain your identity to your therapist and you should never have to worry about having that identity invalidated. You are more than your gender and orientation but those identities need to be affirmed.

My focus as your therapist is to give you the tools you need to have just one day where you are not overwhelmed with anxiety, fear, shame- whatever it is that feels like it's consuming you. One day where you can wake up in the morning and live. Then, I want to help you make that one day every day.

In our first few sessions we go over coping skills and tools you can use on your own to help manage your emotions. Once we build up a tool kit for you then we get to the good stuff- looking for negative beliefs like "I'm not good enough" and uprooting them at their source or exploring your sexual / gender identity to help you better define it for yourself.

I know you are not broken, you are not just a label and this is not easy or linear. Call me and we can work this out together.
