Jessica Lynch

My name is Jessica; I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Work for the past 19 years. I have extensive experience working with individuals, families, couples, and children, specializing in treating anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, trauma and domestic violence. Additionally, I work with individuals who may not meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis; however, benefit from developing skills to manage and prevent stress. Chronic, unmanaged stress affects all aspects of life, home, and work, including sleep, family relationships, and professional interactions. Everyone experiences stress, but not everyone invests the time necessary to ensure long-term positive mental health, similar to completing physical therapy to work through knee pain or regular physical exercise to mitigate chronic health issues. Therapy will be straightforward, goal-directed, and solution-focused. We will work together to identify treatment goals and develop strategies to reduce stress and prevent future problems. I primarily treat from a cognitive behavioral model, identifying negative thoughts and beliefs and how they contribute to negative behaviors and outcomes.
