TESTIMONIALS

Jess is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive. She listens well and provides helpful feedback and advice in a way that balances compassion with hard facts about my condition. She is the best therapist I have ever had (I’ve had more than 5 over the years).

Jess is very empathetic without being overbearing. Her suggestions are practical and easy to follow. I was worried at first she was young but she’s the best therapist I’ve had.

I came to Collaborative CBT when I was fed up in my relationship. My boyfriend was not willing to take the next step and I was ready to leave. We were able to uncover what the issues were in the relationship, work on strengthening our communication and we are now happily married! I was skeptical that therapy could help but I am so grateful that we took the chance!

Jess is a very positive therapist. I found it helpful that she could give straight information (“What we know is…”), personalize for me the “what we know…”, and bring me back to my goals when I rambled what I thought was necessary information about myself or week.

I feel that Jess has helped me reach a place where I’m more reflective and aware of my anxiety. I used to have panic attacks a couple of times a week. Now, I can recognize those feelings and use my tools to relax. I think I can handle it from here on.

Jess is compassionate and practical. She is empathetic. It may seem as if you're talking to a friend, but you'll leave each appointment with practical guidance and suggestions to alter your own behavior and thoughts to help you accomplish your goals.

CBT, in my experience, helps you take action to change behaviors and thought patterns. Jess has been and continues to be effective in helping me to achieve my goals. I'd already had many years of "talk" therapy when I reached Jess. I'd made a great deal of personal progress and was generally happy with where I was emotionally. There was one last issue I wanted to settle, and Jess has helped me accomplish my goal.

Jess is an absolutely amazing therapist and a true ally of the LGBT community. She helped me overcome a number of personal issues including depression, anxiety, relationship loss, and gender dysphoria.

While it certainly took a lot of effort on my part, I am now the happiest I've ever been in my life thanks in large part to Jess. She has my eternal gratitude! I highly recommend her and have already directed several of my friends to her practice.

We came to Jess because my son was having difficulty in school and we needed to find ways to help him succeed. Jess was warm, kind, and helpful. My son was able to connect to her quickly and she was always there to provide us with words of wisdom in moments of doubt.

She was respectful of my son's right to privacy while also making sure we knew that she would keep us in the loop if there was something necessary to our son's wellbeing. We feel comfortable and confident working with Jess and her practice. She has helped my son make a lot of positive progress and we highly recommend her for teen/family work!

I came to see Jess when I was feeling really depressed and didn't have much hope at all. I had tried therapy before and it didn't really help, but working with Jess did help!! She was always there for me, supportive, and challenged me in the best way possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through anything!!

I enjoyed every minute of my sessions with Jess. She is really a great listener and has plenty of tools to suggest for getting you to where you want to be. I can tell how much she cared about what I was telling her and that she was actually interested in my well-being. She asks me all the right questions and follow ups to my answers. I feel very content and at ease when I am with her.
