Jessica Burroughs

Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY & NJ. Currently pursuing my PhD in Counseling and working toward certification in Women’s Mental Health and Reproductive Trauma to expand my expertise and support clients more fully.

I specialize in supporting young adults as they move through this exciting but often challenging stage of life. I work with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, identity, academic pressures, and relationship challenges. While I welcome clients of all genders, I have a special focus on women’s mental health, including self-worth, life transitions, and reproductive concerns.

My mission comes from a family saying: “Wherever you plant her, she will grow.” I believe each person has the potential to grow, no matter where life has placed them. Together, we’ll work to build resilience, self-confidence, and the tools you need to thrive.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in growth. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, positive psychology, and person-centered approaches. That means we’ll explore your challenges while also focusing on your strengths and building tools you can carry beyond therapy.

Clients often describe our sessions as a mix of insight, reflection, and practical strategies. My goal isn’t just to help you cope, but to help you flourish.

I believe the most important way a person can be fully themselves is by building a trusting, empathetic, and compassionate relationship between a client and a therapist. My therapeutic work focuses on helping clients gain insight into their thoughts, better identify emotions, and empower clients to make more mindful decisions for themselves.
