My career has followed many paths building inclusive communities prior to becoming a licensed psychologist. I provide a welcoming place for clients to explore and manage life's challenges and concerns, such as stress and anxiety as well as spiritual, religious, or existential questions. As a neuropsychologist, I offer comprehensive evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. I also work collaboratively with parents and school staff to promote children's full academic, social, and emotional potential. I often use a Jungian approach to gain balance and well-being by appreciating strengths and less developed parts of the self.

Worries, relationship difficulties, sadness or angst are all welcome here. You are tired of feeling irritable. Your feelings about your relationship, your job or yourself have begun to dominate your thoughts. Your ability to focus at work may be suffering. When your phone rings, you don't want to answer. You are feeling like you don't know how to get out of your own way. You know you mean well and are capable, but things are not coming together. You promise yourself things will change, you will get a handle on things this time. However, change remains elusive.

I have experience as a special needs educator and mental health counselor. I enjoy supporting clients in achieving goals and finding new ways to seek fulfilment.

I've been doing therapy over 30 years.I listen empathically to your feeling experience and help to put your understanding in perspective. I am an eclectic therapist, integrating some of the most powerful features of insight-oriented approaches, sometimes also using cognitive-behavioral strategies and methods from Gestalt work and psychodrama. I am an active therapist. I try to help the client who is anxious or depressed, or dealing with the effects of isolation in the COVID era, addiction, or with racism, sexism, or gender identification issues. It is a privilege to help clients in the collaborative healing process. Give me a call.

I work with clients about their relationship issues. Sometimes this involves problems with partners, parents, siblings, or children and sometimes this is about the relationship a person has with him/her self. The lack of meaningful/successful relationships is often a factor in people seeking therapy. The ensuing symptoms may be in the form of anxiety or depression. I like to meet with the people involved in the relationship problems, although the therapy often starts with a series of solo appointment. I view initial meetings as a consultation to check out the goodness of fit between a person's needs and my professional skills.

I have advanced training and years of experience helping those with substance abuse problems as well as identifying and dealing with the underlying issues that may drive the behaviors. Addictions often go hand in hand with other mental illnesses such as depression, trauma, anxiety, ADHD and bipolar illness. I also have advanced training in ADHD. My methods are non-judgmental and generally holistic, but I know enough about medications to be able to recommend when they may be needed. Life can lead us anywhere and it is my mission to make that a happier place for us all.

Depression and anxiety often have their root causes in negative assumptions that we have about ourselves. Clients seek therapy to free themselves of the burden of the past. Insight can be a good first step, but the collaborative work of therapy is then to develop the ability to counter self-defeating thoughts and take steps to improve their situation.

For over 30 years I've been helping people overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable. I have special expertise in the treatment of anxiety, depression, addiction, and emotional issues related to physical illness. My dual background in Public Health and Social Work enables me to help people who have both psychological and health issues. I'm a strong advocate for family, peer and community support when acceptable to my clients.

Jessica Caira is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 10 years of experience in the field.

I am a psychologist who began my career as a dancer and then became an expressive therapist, which grounds my treatment in both psyche and soma. I love working with couples around relationship issues and sexuality. My work is both psychodynamic and cognitive, drawing on the integration of logic, philosophy, and emotion. The most crucial component of successful treatment is a good sense of humor. I work to create a safe space for exploring any emotion or pattern, no matter complex.

I work with couples and individuals who are going through a difficult time, and/or looking to make a positive change in their life. My areas of expertise include: Couple Counseling, Relationships, Anxiety and Panic disorders, depression and mood disorders. I want to help you create the kind of life you want, your life can be changed! I individualize my intervention to your needs, using different psychological approaches.

As a psychotherapist, I listen carefully and work collaboratively with each client in forming a safe and accepting relationship. This relationship provides the basis for exploration, problem solving, healing and growth. I have an interactive style which incorporates warmth, humor, authenticity and direct feedback as I help my clients work through areas in which they feel stuck, unhappy or overwhelmed. These areas may include marital and other relationship difficulties, anxiety around life transitions, concerns about parenting or caring for aging parents, coping with illness, and dealing with breakups along with many others.

Helping your teen to feel comfortable and seen is my priority. I believe that true growth cannot happen outside of a warm, safe relationship. There is so much happening developmentally for teens and having a judgement-free space to slow down, unpack thoughts/feelings and gain clarity/awareness can lead to immense empowerment and growth for young people.
