Dr. Jesse Wallace

I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life stress. Anxiety can show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, or feeling on edge. Depression often looks like low energy, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Trauma can include past experiences that continue to impact how safe, grounded, or in control you feel today.

My work focuses on helping you understand the patterns underneath what you’re experiencing so we can begin to shift them together. I use evidence-based approaches, which means methods that are supported by research and shown to be effective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotions and strengthening connection, especially in relationships. Family systems therapy looks at how your relationships and family dynamics influence your experiences, helping us work through patterns that developed over time.

I am especially passionate about working with couples and families who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, and feel more connected. I also offer faith-integrated counseling for clients who want to incorporate their spiritual or religious beliefs into the healing process in a way that feels meaningful and aligned.

Above all, I aim to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and non-judgmental, where you can show up as you are and feel understood.

My approach is collaborative, which means we work together as a team. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to help guide, support, and offer tools that make things feel more manageable.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, and how shifting one can impact the others. For example, we may work on challenging negative thought patterns or building healthier coping strategies.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps us explore your emotional experiences more deeply, especially in relationships. This approach supports you in understanding your emotional needs and expressing them in ways that strengthen connection and reduce conflict.

Family systems therapy allows us to look at the bigger picture, including past and present relationships, to understand how certain patterns developed and how they continue to show up in your life.

I tailor therapy to fit you. Some sessions may focus on building practical tools and strategies, while others may involve deeper reflection and processing. The pace is guided by what feels safe and helpful for you.

In your first session, you can expect a conversation that is supportive, structured, and centered around getting to know you. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you’re hoping will feel different in your life.

There is no pressure to share everything all at once. We move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood from the start.

We will also begin identifying your goals for therapy and what progress might look like for you. Together, we will start building a plan that feels realistic and aligned with your needs.

By the end of the session, you can expect to have a clearer sense of how we will work together and what next steps might look like. Most importantly, I want you to leave feeling supported and with a sense that change is possible.
