Getting to know Jessica Almeleh

I believe therapy should be a safe, empowering space to reconnect with yourself, understand patterns, and build tools for lasting change. My work began as a health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC) and evolved into social work and psychotherapy to support deeper emotional healing. I work with adults facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions, with a special interest in supporting parents of neurodivergent children. Using CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I provide a warm, trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to help you move forward with confidence.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You can expect a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up as yourself. I take time to understand not only what is bringing you to therapy, but also your experiences, relationships, strengths, and the patterns that may be affecting you today. My style is supportive and conversational, while also helping you identify practical ways to create change. We may explore patterns from the past, work through current challenges, or develop tools to manage anxiety, ADHD, stress, relationships, and life transitions. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I tailor our work to your individual needs, goals, and work at your pace.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first sessions focus on getting to know you, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll explore your current concerns, important experiences and relationships, strengths, and any patterns that may be contributing to how you’re feeling. From there, we’ll identify goals together and develop an approach that feels meaningful and manageable for you. Sessions are collaborative and may include exploring emotions and relationship patterns, developing practical coping strategies, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and building on your existing strengths. I regularly check in about what is working so that therapy continues to reflect your needs and goals.
