Therapists in Westchester, NY

Life transitions at any age can bring challenges and self-doubt. Unresolved past experiences may resurface, leaving us feeling stuck with overwhelming feelings that can be hard to navigate on our own. You are not alone. As a therapist who truly cares, I believe in healing through the use of empathy and self empowerment to help us narrate our own story.

Trained in cognitive AND feeling therapy, I combine both approaches to uncover the core of a client's issues. I encourage curiosity rather than self or other blame. Only through curiosity and self reflection can a person move from a place of feeling stuck to a place where life starts flowing again. Over 23,000 clinical hours working with symptoms like anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, interpersonal conflict, family of origin issues, etc.. Also, specialist in Enneagram Personality System and Gregorc Learning styles.

Do you seem to have it all together on the outside but feel inadequate on the inside? Have you ever thought that “if people only knew” the “real” you that they’d be shocked?

Are you keeping it together on the outside but wish that people knew how you really felt? Do you have a “secret” struggle that feels impossible to talk about (eating concerns, an affair, drinking too much, or something else that feels shameful)? Maybe you’re not sure what the issue is but you know something doesn’t feel right.

Hi! I'm Jessi, a licensed psychotherapist in NY and CT. I focus on two different types of primary clients. 1) Young women in their 20s-30s focusing on self exploration, transitions, relationships, communication, anxiety and confidence. 2) Children and their parents with a focus on play therapy/techniques, anxiety and parent training. I believe all our actions are derived from previous life experiences and my goal is to support clients in understanding their actions, while learning tools for self growth in both life and parenting. I currently hold sessions both in person and virtually. My office is located in Westchester NY.

I understand the choice to be vulnerable with a stranger is not easy and I appreciate that it takes time to build trust. I am warm and nonjudgmental. I want you to feel safe and understood. I practice individual and group therapy with clients ranging in age from adolescence to geriatrics. I have an integrative approach, drawing from different therapeutic styles so that I can meet your unique needs and goals. Those styles include psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based therapy grounded in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

I am trained in a wide range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (with ERP), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, RO-DBT, art therapy, and draw from other integrative strategies such as mindfulness-based stress reduction, yoga, and reiki. I also provide support for people undergoing ketamine treatment as well as Harm Reduction Integration Therapy (preparation and integration support) for those exploring other psychedelics on their own. My approach is person-centered and will be unique and specialized for each individual.

You are capable of healing with adequate resources and expert care. I started a private practice so that I can help you grow into the person you want to be.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, BPD, suicidal ideation or have been a victim of domestic violence? I have experience coordinating crisis interventions and employing Dialectical Behavior Therapy with patients who harm others or themselves, and particularly those who have experienced violence within their family network. I believe that the behaviors we display are part of a larger function, and collectively comprise the larger tapestry of the human experience, while also acknowledging the uniqueness to each human as they make their way through life.

Who we are, who we want to be, and how we show up can be different! I understand firsthand how the intersectionality of the multiple identities we all carry, along with life experiences can have a profound impact on our wellness and equilibrium. The great news is, I believe we all possess the skills necessary to develop into the best version of ourselves while acknowledging all of our individual parts that make us unique. Most importantly, it is never too late to start on the journey of self-discovery and transformation and as your therapist, I'm here to facilitate hope and support that journey.

I have developed a particular niche for treating adolescents, teens, young adults, and families. My experience in the mental health field has included treatment of addiction, PTSD, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I aim to guide and encourage my clients to learn how to advocate for themselves in order to get their needs met, regardless of where they are in their lives.

Therefore, I encourage families to be part of the therapeutic process at an appropriate capacity, case by case.
