Getting to know Jessica Sousa-Santos

I have treated a wide range of ages, from 16 to 80+, and worked with a variety of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, major mental illness, and substance abuse. My approach is direct and client-centered. I truly care about my patients' well-being and enjoy the work that I do. I earned my Master's in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University, which has equipped me with the skills to support my clients effectively. My goal is to help you reach your goals, find ways to express emotions, manage thoughts, and feel supported every step of the way.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have a direct approach to therapy with a cognitive behavioral basis for treatment. Within your first appointment we will create a treatment plan and complete measures to be able to assess your symptoms and repeat assessments to be able to measure progress within your treatment. You will create goals for therapy to be able to create a blueprint for what you want to achieve within our time together. We will then complete an overall assessment to get to know you. I use supportive resources such as books and worksheets to help support progress in therapy. The most important determining factor to the success of therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. We will discuss if we are a good match and make a plan for visit frequency which is usually weekly to be able to establish a therapeutic relationship. As there is progress and improvement in mental health symptoms therapy will transition to bi weekly, triweekly monthly and with a plan to discharge.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After your initial appointment, we will begin to work towards accomplishing your goals. My role within therapy is to explore, challenge and reframe thoughts and hold you accountable to the goals you have set for yourself and support you through your life experience. My goal is to ensure that you feel safe and comfortable and feel assured through a non judgmental environment. No matter what you are going through, you do not have to go through it alone.
