Jessica Paden

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

I work particularly well with smart, intense people with untapped potential. This untapped potential is often a result of the effects of relational wounding and/or pervasive emotional and mood difficulties. Together, we will work to help you reconnect to your sense of vitality, belonging, and purpose.

My focus

I specialize in adults and children of parents with personality disorders and other mental health issues. I work with anxiety, depression, premarital and marital therapy. Relational trauma can leave you questioning your worth and struggling to connect with others. Your experiences and feelings matter, even if others have dismissed them in the past.

My approach

My most utilized therapeutic modalities are psychodynamic, somatic, and attachment-based. I often turn to acceptance, compassion, and mindfulness as resources, and also find parts work particularly conducive to healing younger or exiled parts. I balance clinically sound practices with intuitive or spirit-based practices where warranted.
