Jessica Barrett and The Art of Therapy

I am very happy to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you.  What you will find here are some valuable pieces of information as well as some HONEST testimonials from my clients to let you know how they feel about my work.

The first question is always INSURANCE-- and quite frankly, they have been very cruel to us as medical professionals and most have not given us a raise in over 25 years  -- and gotten away with it.  That is why so many therapists won't take insurance, and yet many are still in need of using benefits that they have.

What I would prefer to do is a consultation first in order for us to gather information about each other and assess your needs so that we can be fair in determining the course of your treatment.  Some can be handled in that brief time while others can go weeks, months and sometimes years.

In all cases this time period is up to you :  that is, it's your choice how you use your therapy and whether or not you do your work on the outside of your sessions to help you to effect change.

The EMDR is another new animal altogether --- which I have been using for almost fifteen years now.  While it is aggressive in its path, it can save you hours of talk therapy and years of work trying to change old habits of behaving where there is an obvious source of that behavior.

Let's talk and find out what's best for you!

Jessica has been an intelligent, insightful, caring and supportive source for me throughout the years. She has an incredible memory as well, which is most helpful, and she knows her stuff. She's a delightful person whom I always look forward to working with."

Jessica is a well organized, knowlegable professional that is excellent in listening and extremely resourceful in providing solutions to resolving personal issues. When I came to Jessica I had two friends die of AIDS and three cousins killed in a car accident: ALL IN THE SAME WEEK!!! These tragedies were on the heels of a very ugly break-up. I was at my wits end; and quite ready to hurt people and possibly myself....and she helped me to get through all of it. Two years later, I am doing better than I've ever been in my life, and am now in the healthiest relationship I've ever been in, thanks to Jessica; she is PRICELESS!!! Well, what are you waiting for? Call her!"
