Jessica is an LPC and LMFT specializing in individual, couples and
family therapy, and maintains a private practice in El Paso, Texas.
With many years of experience working with adults and children, and as a
graduate of Webster University specializing in behavior
modification, she is currently serving as private practitioner working with
a broad spectrum of clients. Among her areas of expertise are adults and
children with behavioral disorders, PTSD, personality and mood disorders,
ADHD, asperger's, and autism.
Jessica is an interactive, solution-focused therapist. Her therapeutic
approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients
effectively address personal life challenges. She integrates complementary
methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach
tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, she works with
each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the
personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
Our facility, GRACE'S PLACE, is named after my daughter. Our office
personally recognizes the struggles associated with living with and rasiging
children with emotional and behavioral difficulties. As parents or
individuals living with mental illness we seek understanding, compassion,
and support for ourselves and our children as we continue to grow and
develop in our understanding. We do not seek to be saved but understood,
respected, and be able to come to a safe place with others who understand
our journey. This was the vision that founded GRACE'S PLACE and hope that
you too will find a sense of hope, comfort, and understanding as we guide,
discover, and grow together.
Living in El Paso for over 17 years has given me a unique appreciation for
those in the community who seek high quality mental health services from
individual providers who understand the needs of those who desire excellence
in care.
Trained in a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Thoery (CBT), Applied
Behavioral Analysis (ABA), and Dialectical Behavior Theory (DBT), I bring a
unique combination of education adn experience to the community that can
assist those who are looking for an alternative approach to treatment of
such disorders related to Autism Spectrum delays, clients with mild/moderate
Mental Retardation, Traumatic Brain injuries, ADHD, Mood Disorders, PTSD,
and those diagnosed with Personality disorders.
My philosphy is family centered and encompasses each member of the family
and those who play an integral part of the client's progress. Individual and
family sessions are encouraged and used to foster and sustain desired
changes achieved in therapy. I promote a practice of optimism, hope, and
positive reinforcement to support methods of coping and resilience following
treatment.
