We Heal In Kindness

Warm welcome! My name is Jerilea (Jeri) and I serve clients in individual therapy for depression, anxiety (including panic disorder) trauma transformation, grief processing, recovery from narcissistic/psychological abuse or bullying, self-injury, low self-esteem and navigating general life stressors. With 20 years in the counseling field and a wealth of lived experience (domestic and international), I bring a holistic and culturally-attuned lens to my work with teens and adult clients. ACCESSIBLE THERAPY A vital mission of my work is to provide high-quality services with flexible self-pay sliding scale fees. Telehealth allows clients to join sessions from anywhere in Arizona. DEPRESSION RECOVERY ANXIETY DISORDERS and PANIC DISORDER Let's find your path back to a life fully lived! GRIEF SUPPORT, INCLUDING TRAUMATIC GRIEF With understanding and care, we will gently navigate your new life after grief. PSYCHOLOGICAL/NARCISSISTIC ABUSE The too-often minimized debilitating effects of emotional abuse requires a therapist with a distinct understanding of the recovery road. PTSD Post-traumatic stress disorder severely impacts quality of life. WET (Written Exposure Treatment) is an evidenced-based intervention to treat PTSD. As a briefer path to treatment than other modalities, WET boasts lower drop-out rates than other treatments. https://www.ptsd.va.gov/professional/treat/txessentials/written_exposure_therapy.asp Other areas that include clinician's lived experience: family estrangement, loved ones suffering from substance use disorder, self-injury as unhealthy coping, chronic stress caused by financial stressors, relationships/friendship, perfectionism struggles, life transitions.
