Welcome! Are you tired of feeling stuck? I specialize in self-compassion and have extensive experience helping adults of all ages navigate anxiety, depression, stress, grief, burnout, relationship strain, and trauma. My style is warm, effective, strengths-based and solution-focused. You will find our sessions to be a supportive space where we will collaboratively get to the root of your concerns, explore overwhelming emotions, and discuss tools that can help you overcome what you are facing. Whether you want to address your relationship with yourself or with others, I can help.

A part of you may feel disconnected, even dead. Bombarded by critical, anxious, or shameful thoughts— joy and connection can seem like otherworldly concepts. Life may feel murky, veiled, separate. When stuck in old, unsupportive patterns— whether that be the broken (and unhelpful) record playing in your head, a persistent sense of emptiness and isolation, or attempts to recalibrate emotions through numbing or high intensity—it becomes ever more difficult to know who YOU are, connect genuinely, and ultimately, move forward. AND, I believe these very struggles are often unseen guideposts, capable of pointing you towards relief.

Pressure is mounting and your emotions are out of control. You’re scared you won’t be up to the daunting challenges ahead. Long held dreams remain maddeningly out of reach. You’re stuck. Old destructive patterns of coping have only made things worse. Family and friends don’t get what you’re going through, nor can they offer the help that you really need. The chaos and stress follow you from the workplace into your home, shaking the foundation of your most important relationships. Your last good night’s rest is a distant memory. Frustration and indecision cloud your thinking and make every step forward an agonizing ordeal.

Join me in learning the skills and tools to consciously create the life that you desire. Life experiences can lead to; PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, grief, anger, hopelessness, and confusion that can make us feel out of control and overwhelmed. I support people to empower themselves through counseling, mindfulness, meditation, and yoga bringing together modern and ancient techniques for creating health and happiness in all areas of life. Everyone faces a variety of emotional, mental, physical, social, and spiritual challenges throughout their lifetimes, seeking help is a healthy response to these challenges.

*In person sessions now available* You're feeling stressed, tired, and on edge. Worrying and overthinking seem to be taking up way too much time. You're tired of feeling off and are ready to be able to increase your confidence, improve your relationships, and spend your time on things that are much more satisfying than reliving past mistakes in your head or dreading what's to come. You're determined to find the tools you need to gain some clarity, direction, and self-assurance so you can feel satisfied. Your time and energy are valuable and can be put to good use in therapy.

Psychotherapy can sometimes be a scary word, but it is what I do. My therapy approach is client-centered, solution-focused, and holistic with a healthy dose of positive psychology. What does this mean? It simply means that there is a therapeutic alliance between therapist and client and we decide together what is best for you. It means we focus on finding the best solution to remove the barriers that you are facing; sometimes it’s important to consider all pillars of health; and we create an environment to support your strengths.

Dr. Jessica Reyka, Psy.D., the founder and owner of Grass Roots Healing, LLC, is a firm believer that in order to reconnect and heal, we must first go back to the "root" of the problem or concern, which often stems far back into one's life, and then work towards healing from an inward-out approach. "The stronger our roots are, the more beautiful the leaves that come from the tree"; similar to the process of therapy where we rebuild the foundation from which you view the world and create a life/beliefs/behaviors that are more in alignment with your true values and authentic self.

This is your therapy. I’m curious about you and your story; you help me know what you need and you drive the agenda. My offering is a flexible space that honors all humans and all ways of being. I believe you are the expert on you, and nothing about you is a problem. The problem is the problem. And together, we can explore a new way to relate to it. We can co-create a journey of growth, healing, and transformation.

Have you found yourself feeling overwhelmed in your relationship or personal life? Has your past continued to interfere in your present? Perhaps your relationships are in trouble, but you're not sure how to fix it. If you find yourself spiraling into thoughts contributing to anxiety, depression, reliving the past, or behaving in ways that don't represent the authentic you, we have specialized therapists here to help. We offer effective treatment options for anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, depression, stress, trauma, dissociation, low self-esteem, affair recovery and adjustment to life changes. Let us show you how.

Your journey begins here. Whether you are suffering from issues like depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief and loss, or are struggling to find meaning and purpose in your life, the services offered here will help you heal. Some of us have trauma to process and it is difficult to talk about. Others need guidance to find their inner strengths and know how to use them to their advantage. Are you seeking comfort in a storm? Are you angry and anxious and have a difficult time feeling hopeful? With You in Mind, LLC offers individual therapy for clients ages 15+.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment, shame and trauma reactions. Do you find yourself feeling stuck in your thoughts? As if they are playing on a loop, fixated? You too may find yourself dealing with depression, irritability, relationship issues, guilt, and anxiety keeping you from the peace you seek. Therapy helps us understand where we're stuck and provides the space to practice new strategies. I use proven techniques to help people involved in traumatic events or struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, adjustment and relationships become reacquainted with themselves.

Life experiences and circumstances shape us. They impact the way we see and relate to ourselves, others and the world in general. This impact, however, is not always positive or helpful. In fact, sometimes it leads to some pretty significant suffering. Do you criticize yourself for the choices you made, or didn’t make in the past, and feel a sense of guilt or shame as a result? Have you become so distrustful or angry, that you find yourself in constant fear, or conflict with those that you love the most? Do you believe that things will never change, and that you are doomed to feel pain forever? I can help you.

Are you overwhelmed by suffering, loss, or disconnection? Are you simply surviving or going through the motions of life? Do you want to claim wholeness and connection for yourself and your relationships? Regardless of what you were born into, or the tragedies that you have accumulated with time, healing is possible for you. Together we can gain insight into your story-- and all your identities and experiences that shape it. We can create new experiences, ones that integrate what was previously disowned, and transcend what was previously rigid and limiting. This work takes courage, is messy, and is the best way I know to heal.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety and worry in this uncertain time of the Coronavirus pandemic, or you're a couple seeking more intimacy, or you’re an individual struggling with depressive feelings, there's hope to find fulfillment and happiness. Seeking counseling is a great first step! The alliance that you and I create is important and I want to offer a space in which you feel safe and heard. My office provides both in-person and online counseling. You and I work together to set goals that you can achieve. You will find peace and feel hopeful about the future, even when it feels out of your control.

Have you been putting off therapy? Are your ways of coping no longer working? You have successfully solved other problems in your life, but this one is different. Past traumatic experiences can have lasting impact on us if we don’t work through them appropriately. These experiences can cause anxiety, shame, irritability or guilt. You might even have negative beliefs about yourself, the world or others as a result. I’m here to help you sort through your experiences. I have several years of experience helping people with anxiety, trauma (military or non-military related) or depression and am confident that you can feel better.

Many of my clients understand that they are struggling, yet are unsure what to do about it. Be it depression, anxiety, substance use, identity, trauma, or other such issues, it may seem overwhelming to address without guidance. Many have not engaged in counseling before or had a setback in their lives that they need assistance exploring. Many clients want freedom to be authentic in who they are, but have difficulty believing this is possible. We learn, together, that believing in and finding compassion for the self is an experience of being courageous and vulnerability is strength. We learn to own all of ourselves.

As a counselor, I seek to create an environment where people feel safe, heard, valued, and honored. My style is very relational, collaborative, encouraging, and empowering using evidence-based models of therapeutic care. I feel that people can bring their frustrations, anger, fears, sadness, anxiety, ambivalence, and dissatisfaction into the counseling process. Throughout my 25 year career, I have been so fortunate to walk thousands of people through painful circumstances to experience necessary hope and healing in life.

Do you feel stagnant in your life but not sure how to move forward? Do you struggle to find joy? Do you want to change something, anything about your circumstances? It is my goal to provide a safe, peaceful and caring environment for each client. I focus on the individual needs of each client with empathy, compassion, and understanding. I am a strength based therapist and focus on personal resiliency. We will focus on progress by taking small steps and embracing “little wins.” Together, we will challenge negative self-beliefs and work on developing your positive narrative that supports who you are and who you want to be.

There are an infinite number of ways to live life happily and successfully. I love people and our collective diversity. If your life is not what you want it to be or if you are longing for internal growth, we can explore the life and the person you want to be, your way, together in an environment free of judgement and full of warmth and compassion. I enjoy working with people of all races, cultures, spiritual beliefs, and gender preferences to achieve relief from life's distress, depression, anxiety, and past trauma with it's accompanying grief and loss.
