About
My name is Jessica Lief. I have been practicing social work and working as a psychotherapist since 2014. I support individuals who are recovering from eating disorders, body image issues, substance use issues, trauma, self harm, prenatal and postpartum issues, miscarriage and fertility issues. I work with adults of all ages. My style has been described as nurturing, empathic, and empowering. I am direct and authentic; I will never blame you for your suffering. My approach is primarily psychodynamic but combines aspects of self-psychology, mindful self-compassion, dialectical behavior therapy, Seeking Safety, and mindfulness.
Please call me for a free telephone assessment. Eating disorders, addictions, trauma, body image, maternal grief, motherless daughters, OCD, DBT, Seeking Safety, Mindfulness, Mindful Self-Compassion, The Body Positive, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Identity Work, Prenatal and Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, and Psychosis, Miscarriage, Endometriosis, PCOS

I will support you in developing powerful, research supported, inner resources, (compassion, radical self-acceptance, confidence).
