Jessica Snider

Reaching out for help can be daunting – it takes a lot of courage, and I’m happy that you’re here. Whether you are struggling with current stressors or ongoing trauma, I will be here to walk beside you in your journey through these challenging times. As someone with lived experience with mental health challenges, sudden losses, and various traumas – I understand how quickly life can begin to feel overwhelming. The processing skills and coping strategies that you’ve been using may not be as effective anymore, it may be difficult to slow your thoughts down enough to see the challenge clearly.

Together, we can work towards identifying and deconstructing the challenge that you may be facing. I firmly believe that the foundation of change is human connection – let’s work together to support you in becoming your ideal self. My practice is rooted in the belief that individuals are strong and capable – but sometimes life challenges are too big for us to deal with by ourselves, which is why I’m here to help. 

Utilizing various therapeutic modalities depending on your unique experiences, we will collaborate to identify and work towards achievement of your expressed goals and needs.

The foundation of my practice is in a holistic, trauma-informed, strengths based approach – focusing on meeting each individual where they are at in their journey. I strive to create a warm, safe, welcoming environment to support an authentic connection.
