Jessie Catchpole, pre-licensed clinician

(She/Her)

Who I work best with:

• Students aged 8+ (tweens, teens and emerging adults) experiencing difficulties associated with the transition to higher education, academic stress, and graduation anxiety

• Individuals working through transitional periods and those experiencing distress related to change

I am an integrative, humanistic therapist who draws from many approaches to best serve my clients. I place an emphasis on creating a secure therapeutic relationship to foster a sense of safety and openness for clients.

As we go through life, we develop habits and coping strategies to protect ourselves. I respect these coping mechanisms for the important role they play in helping us navigate the challenges of life. However, sometimes the very strategies that once helped us can become limiting or harmful. My goal is to support my clients in letting go of those old patterns and in discovering healthier, more effective ways to move forward.

My work is rooted in empathy and the deep respect I have for each individual’s unique perspectives and life experiences. Humans are resilient beings, and I hope to help you bring awareness to the resilience within you.
