Jessica Barriga

My communication style

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and honest. I create space where you can feel seen and heard without judgment, but I'm also not afraid to gently challenge patterns that may be holding you back.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up in a home where speaking about feelings was taboo, I became curious about mental health. I witnessed loved ones go through dark moments and felt helpless. As a teenager, I developed disordered eating and anxiety and experienced needing help but not receiving it. Since recovering, I've used my experience to support others.

My goals for you

Our work is deeply collaborative, kind, honest, and human. I'll support you in shining a light on patterns and gently challenge you when it's helpful. We'll work together to identify what you want to achieve and make steps toward that goal.

Our first session

A first session with me will feel like a no-stress environment. It will be a natural conversation where you'll be greeted and welcomed, and we'll briefly discuss what brought you to therapy. Toward the end, I'll understand what you'd like to focus on and know you better. The floor is yours for any questions about my practice or me.

I identify as...

• Female
