Getting to know Jessi Gholami
Hi, Im Jessi Gholami, a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland, Michigan, and Washington, DC. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and hold a Bachelors degree in Psychology. Over the years, Ive had the privilege of supporting children, teens, and adults as they navigate challenges such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and major life transitions.
I like to keep therapy structured enough to give you direction, but flexible enough to meet you where you are. I pull from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, organizational skillbuilding, and Internal Family Systemsbut I wont just hand you a textbook strategy. I want us to figure out what actually works for you. Our sessions arent just about talking theyre about finding tools you can use in real life so you feel more confident outside of our time together.
Being a parent can be both rewarding and overwhelming. As a certified PCIT therapist, I provide livecoaching positive parenting strategies to caregivers in order to boost their childs selfesteem, attention span, parentchild attachment, prosocial behaviors, and listening and compliance. This treatment also decreases negative attentionseeking behaviors, tantrums, & aggression.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief every person has inherent worth and dignity. Life doesnt come with a manual, families are messy, and everyone has struggles. I dont believe therapy should come with judgment, rigid rules, or strings attached. Instead, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and equipped to grow. Patterns from the past often show up in our presentwhether in relationships, families, or work. I believe healing is possible when we recognize our inner strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and practice skills. Outside of my work, I love hiking, swimming, baking, and walking my dog, Teddy.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
