Getting to know Jessica Semaan
The provider is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Their current employer is Jess Semaan Therapy.
I’m Jess Semaan, M.B.A., M.A., Marriage and Family Therapist offering trauma-informed psychotherapy, psychedelic integration, and ketamine-assisted therapy for adults, couples, families, and groups. My approach is warm, intuitive, and nurturing—while also being direct and grounded in real-life tools for healing.
I’m especially passionate about supporting first-generation and immigrant individuals as they navigate identity, complex trauma, and relationship challenges. I also work closely with LGBTQ+ couples, families, and communities of color.
I draw from training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (Polaris Insight Center), MDMA-Assisted Therapy (MAPS), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Jungian dreamwork, expressive arts therapy, as well as relational and psychodynamic therapy. My work is somatically rooted, nervous system-informed, and guided by anti-racist and decolonial values.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our work together, I start by building a foundation of safety and trust. In early sessions, we’ll explore your story, what brings you to therapy, and what goals you’d like to work toward. We’ll revisit those goals regularly to stay aligned with what feels most meaningful to you.
I draw from both relational and psychodynamic therapy, so we may explore how past experiences shape current patterns, as well as how those dynamics show up in the therapy room. I also incorporate somatic and nervous system-based tools to help regulate overwhelming emotions and reconnect with the body.
For clients interested in deeper healing, I offer ketamine-assisted therapy as a powerful tool to access and process layers of trauma that may be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone. This work is held with great care and always grounded in integration.
Depending on your needs, our work might also include inner parts work (IFS), guided imagery, dreamwork, or integration of other psychedelic experiences. Whether you’re coming in for support around trauma, relationships, or a life transition, I’ll meet you with curiosity, care, and respect for your unique process.
To see meaningful progress it is recommended to be in consistent therapy anywhere from 9 months to 3 years.
