Jessica Loftus, LMHC, MS - Mental Health Counseling(She/Her/Hers)

Specialties

Trauma - There are many misconceptions about what trauma is, and my first step is to provide education, resources and support to those who struggle with the aftermath of their past experiences. Many of my clients come to me to address issues with relationships, sleep or low self-esteem, but we later learn many of their current beliefs & reactions stem from negative experiences in childhood or adolescence. My goal is to empower clients through the healing process and help them feel like themselves again.

Anxiety - I help those struggling with excessive worry, nervousness, or stress and provide tools they can use to manage their symptoms. Anxiety can often prevent us from living our life to the fullest (e.g. - we may avoid certain situations or talk ourselves out of saying or doing certain things for fear of the outcome). My aim is to help you navigate your way through any unhelpful coping patterns (i.e. - avoidance, self-medication, perfectionism, etc.) and learn new ways to manage your stress.

Depression - "You don't think in depression that you've put on a gray veil and are seeing the world through the haze of a bad mood. You think that the veil has been taken away, the veil of happiness, and that now you're seeing truly." - Andrew Solomon Depression is one of the hardest things to work through, especially if it's chronic. I'm here to provide the support and tools to manage it.
