Jessica Munoz, LMHC

Psychotherapist
NY
I believe psychotherapy takes two people willing to do the work. I am ready, are you? I have 15 years of clinical experience specializing in trauma, sexual assault, and the management of related symptoms. I work with survivors of sexual assault and coercive control, as well as adults managing anxiety or depression. I believe therapy, much like the gym, is about leaning into a regular practice—showing up week after week and putting in the work, regardless of mood. My approach includes somatic, or body-focused, interventions to address trauma stored in the body and invite the mind back to the body (embodiment). I offer EMDR therapy for those ready to do deep trauma work and heal at the root. I also frequently draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is particularly useful for addressing numbing and addictive behaviors often associated with the management of PTSD and CPTSD symptoms. As a visible survivor of gender-based violence, I have personally experienced the transformative power of embodiment techniques. As a scholar-practitioner, I am committed to advancing the field by collecting quantitative data, including measuring stress responses through Hair Cortisol Levels (HCL), to develop evidence-based practices that ethically support survivors. I’ve worked across the spectrum of mental health settings—from psychiatric inpatient hospitals and the neurological ICU to manning triage at New York’s highest-volume emergency department and providing direct, face-to-face care in community mental health settings. I identify as a visible survivor in the field of trauma-informed care, I believe deeply in survivor leadership—the reinvestment, respect, and intellectual credit for lived experience and cultural expertise. If you’re seeking a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist to help you heal and grow, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
