Let’s do this together

Jessica Furland, MSW, LCSW (she, her, hers)

Having a comfortable and relaxed partnership with your therapist is so important when exploring the raw parts of ourselves. We often keep these tender sides hidden and experience shame that we don’t “have it all together.” In order to feel ready to illuminate issues that need attention, we must be able to deeply trust the person doing that work by our side.

I’m compassionate, non-judgemental, real, and a little messy - like all humans! I’ve been there too! While I’m learning about what makes you unique, I’ll draw upon evidence-based therapeutic modalities that have been proven to be effective in lessening suffering and formulating new habits.

When we have healthier ways of interpreting emotions and behavior patterns, our relationships improve, not only with others but also with ourselves.

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
