About
Diving headfirst into the icy waters of relationship challenges, Jessica Myers-Adams, LCSW, brings a refreshing and dynamic approach to couples therapy. As the founder of Emergent Relationship Center, Jessica specializes in helping couples navigate the turbulent seas of communication breakdowns, affairs, and emotional disconnection. Her journey through personal relationship struggles has equipped her with a unique 360-degree perspective, allowing her to empathize deeply with couples facing their own trials.
Jessica's therapeutic approach is grounded in the Bader-Pearson Developmental Model of Couples Counseling, which integrates Attachment Theory, Differentiation Theory, and Neuroscience. This comprehensive framework enables her to break destructive patterns and guide couples toward stronger, more vibrant relationships. As a Gestalt-trained therapist, she focuses on the present moment, helping couples address their immediate concerns while building lasting skills for the future.
With a Master's Degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology and a concentration in couples and family therapy, Jessica is currently pursuing a License in Marriage and Family Therapy. Her commitment to ongoing education and professional development ensures that her clients receive the most current and effective therapeutic interventions. Jessica's expertise extends beyond the therapy room; she is also the author of "What to Do When You Do Give a Fck: A Roadmap to a Happy Relationship," sharing her insights and strategies for cultivating joyful and meaningful bonds.
At Emergent Relationship Center, Jessica creates a safe and supportive atmosphere where each individual is heard and valued. Her goal is to work collaboratively with couples, identifying both healthy patterns and those that no longer serve the relationship. Jessica's approach emphasizes reconnecting, building communication skills, and fostering empathic understanding between partners. She doesn't shy away from complex cases, instead embracing the challenge of helping couples transform conflict into growth opportunities.
Jessica Myers-Adams' personal philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that relationships can become even stronger through facing and overcoming struggles. Like the Japanese practice of Kintsugi, which uses gold to mend broken pottery, Jessica sees the potential for relationships to become more beautiful and resilient through the process of healing. Her enthusiasm for this work is palpable, as she guides couples from a place of hopelessness to one of confidence, connection, and mutual appreciation.
