Hello! My name is Jessica Bonaventura. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 7 years of clinical experience providing therapy for various individuals with addiction, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder, among many other mental health diagnoses. I enjoy using a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, DBT, and a psychoanalytic approach to help clients understand how their past has affected their present. I believe in encouraging my clients to apply their creativity in a less directive-based therapeutic approach.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and have experience working with adults, adolescents, groups, couples, and families. I completed internship and post doctoral training in Health Psychology at The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. I completed an additional postdoc in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic insight oriented psychotherapy and am a Board member wit the Southeast Florida Association for Psychoanalytic Psychology (SEFAPP). I have experience with a broad range of mental health difficulties and have specialized in multiple treatment approaches in order to provide optimal treatment and care.

I help professional men who feel depressed and anxious because they have experienced trauma. Men who are having relationship difficulties and feel uncertain about what they want in their lives. Who struggle with their sexuality and do not know where they fit in? Their lives are not working because they feel stuck and unable to attain their life goals. By exploring in-depth the function of their depression and anxiety we can understand the underline issues and challenge those cognitive distortions. So, the change not only happens cognitively but also with bodily awareness.

I was born in Buenos Aires,the capital city of psychoanalysis. My fascination with it led me to a group that followed the teachings of French psychoanayst Jaques Lacan. I am a member of WAP (World Association of Psychoanalisis).

People come to me for help with a range of difficulties: Some have problems with relationships, work or school; others are reacting to stress or going through a difficult period in their lives. Many are troubled by anxiety, depression or other unhappy feelings, or feel blocked from being effective and comfortable at work or at home. Often they have tried treatment before, without success. I collaborate with each person to evaluate his or her needs carefully, and tailor therapy to that individual. For some people brief therapy is best, for others it takes longer.

My clinical practice dates back to my second year of graduate school. I work with children, adolescents and adults.

You may have been stuck many times in your life: in boring jobs, disrespectful bosses, ungrateful friends/family, in sick relationships, in your own lack of confidence, in concerns about your appearance, your intelligence, your body... feeling trapped, desperate, weak, confused. You've got used to it, it becomes routine. You may yearn for happiness and fulfillment, but you don't know how to get rid of that feeling, the guilt, the shame. Or maybe, sometimes you don't even realize that you're stuck at all, you just know that you've lost yourself. You may feel that you are too much, and at the same time, not enough.

My strength as a professional psychologist is being a good therapist. It is how I feel about what I am and what I do, helping others grow and helping myself be a better person, which makes me love this profession every day. Understanding without judging, attacking, and understanding what the other is saying and feeling is the center of my practice, and together, I find a way out better each day the client comes to me; that's my goal every day to do better and better.

SEX IS BETWEEN THE EARS, NOT JUST THE LEGS. There are many societal pressures around sex. We hear stories from our friends about their amazing sexual experiences, and wonder “What’s wrong with me?" or "Why am I not able to have an orgasm?”. You may find yourself wondering why everyone else is experiencing satisfying relationships and exciting sexual experiences. Sexual challenges oftentimes create isolation, conflicts in one's romantic relationship, and a lack of sexual desire. I love my work as a Sexologist! Through my treatment programs, you will live the sex life you desire!
