I collaborate closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, I am here to provide compassionate support and evidence-based interventions.
Drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, trauma-informed care, and narrative therapy, I tailor my interventions to meet the specific needs of each individual. I believe in empowering clients to cultivate self-awareness, build coping skills, and develop healthy coping mechanisms to navigate life’s ups and downs more effectively.
My approach is strength-based, collaborative, and culturally sensitive, honoring the diverse backgrounds and identities of each client. I am dedicated to walking alongside you on your journey towards healing, growth, and self-discovery. Together, we can work towards creating positive change and fostering a greater sense of well-being in your life.

"True healing is not only the alleviation of symptoms, but the transformation of the self."

I am deeply passionate about continuing education and staying abreast of the latest developments in the field of mental health. My professional interests include exploring the intersection of social justice and mental health, and integrating innovative modalities into my practice to better serve my clients’ diverse needs. I am dedicated to ongoing growth and learning, continuously seeking opportunities to expand my skill set and deepen my understanding of the complexities of the human experience.
“ I’ve been working with Jessica for nearly a year and am very grateful for our sessions, especially with the pandemic. She is a great listener and very down to earth. She remembers a lot of small details about my life and has connected many dots for me.”

“One of the most thoughtful and professional therapists that I've gone to. She listens carefully and patiently to what you have in mind without presuming anything about your problems and who you are; something that has really annoyed me in my previous experiences with therapists in general.”
- Verified Patient
“Dr. Behr is the absolute best. Brilliant and responsive, her knowledge base and ability to point out things you can't see through the things you say and the way you say them is phenomenal. My time with her has been invaluable, especially during the pandemic.”
- Verified Patient
“Dr. Jess has helped me so much with my anxiety and worry. She helps me see different perspectives on my problems which really helps. She also is always willing to call me and talk to me in between sessions if I need anything or add me to twice a week when I needed it. I really recommend her if your struggling with anything. She will help you.”
- Verified Patient
“I have been rebirthed by the work I'm currently doing with Dr. Behr. She is gentle, kind, always reassuring with the right words or suggestions. She has been a phone call away during times of my distress, a "cheerleader" for my personal and professional development, and reassuring when I doubt myself. She is quick to remind me "you are doing the work, I’m just helping you find what you already have within yourself". But, without her guidance my journey would be a lot more daunting. I walked into her office broken, sad and jaded, today I am healing, hopeful and most importantly happy!!”
