Jessica Carvalheira

Jessica Carvalheira, MA, LPC, approaches therapy as a collaborative journey, where healing and growth flourish through personalized care. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, she specializes in guiding clients through the complexities of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Her clinical approach is both flexible and tailored, recognizing that each client's path to positive change is unique.

At the heart of Jessica's practice is the creation of a safe, non-judgmental space. She understands that true transformation occurs within a nurturing environment, and her unwavering commitment to her clients forms the foundation of their work together. Her primary goal is to equip clients with healthy coping skills and empower them to make positive changes in their thoughts and behaviors.

Drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy and person-centered techniques, Jessica adapts her therapeutic approach to suit the individual needs of each client. She has a particular affinity for supporting those navigating life transitions, feeling 'stuck,' anxious about change, or adjusting to new chapters in their lives. Her clientele primarily consists of young adults and adults who feel "stuck" in their lives and are seeking guidance.

Jessica's educational background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Educational Studies. This comprehensive training allows her to bring a wealth of knowledge to her sessions, integrating academic insights with practical, real-world applications.

Embracing Carl Rogers' philosophy that "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change," Jessica guides her clients towards self-acceptance as a pathway to profound and lasting change. Her ultimate aim is to foster an environment where clients can embrace their authentic selves, understanding that this acceptance is the foundation for meaningful personal growth and transformation.
