Have you been feeling overwhelmed or have you lost motivation? Have you been through trauma? Does ADHD or Autism impact your day to day function? You may have tried to find your own ways to cope and have just run out of ideas. Reaching out for counseling can be challenging, and I get that. Maybe you are skeptical that counseling is the right place for you. I believe that everyone is capable of changing their lives for the better.

I enjoy working with individuals who are open to learning, growing, and problem-solving. My focus is that each individual has potential to make changes in their life if needed.

My name is Jesse Rappaport. I have an easy going style, and know that getting to know a new therapist can take some time, I try to make that easier by creating a relaxed atmosphere. One approach I use is EMDR; for treating traumatic experiences. Using EMDR for over twenty years in private practice, I am still awed by the deep transformation, and profound relief that this approach can bring. It is a privilege to witness clients unburdened of trauma becoming able to access their own internal resources, strength and healing. It is as if one's future self somehow becomes available in the present. I most often work with adults 18 +.
