Meet Jessie Culley, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Adults/Adolescents 11+
A passion for people drives my determination to help you regain your sense of stability. My role is to help you get your power back and learn to cope with the trials life throws at you. I am compassionate and dedicated and want to make each session what you need in that moment. I bring experience from inpatient, outpatient, and corrections working with a variety of individuals and families dealing with mild to severe mood and anxiety disorders, suicidality, self-harm, and personality disorders. I’m excited to start this healing journey with you.
My therapeutic approaches include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy: Using this modality, we delve into the negative thoughts and emotions you may have, identify them, and gather evidence for or against them. We will be restructuring your thoughts from being completely negative automatically, to engaging more of your executive functioning to make better decisionsand change behaviors.
Dialectical behavioral therapy: Using this modality, we help you to cope better and fix negative behavioral patterns (think of it as a skills bootcamp). We will learn how to be more mindful of yourself and your surroundings, increase stress tolerance, increase interpersonal skills, and increase regulation skills.
Interpersonal therapy: We will dive in and process core conflicts and disputes you are having to help you better understand yourself and the world around you.
The therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone to which real change and work can be accomplished. I firmly believe that connecting with your therapist and collaborating regarding your care will produce the best outcomes. My background working with individuals in acute inpatient, and acute outpatient settings has taught me that the more open and honest communication we have, the greater treatment outcomes. I want to work with you to help you through your difficult times and hard life decisions. We are in this together!
