Great to meet you!

Jessica Elwart Therapy offers support in assisting others to understand their body connection. The practice is built on a fat liberating, non-diet ideology using honest communication, relational straight-forward feedback, and humor. Our approach is based in creativity and play aiming at reconnecting you with your instrument in a more authentic existence.

My approach to therapy

Together we can explore your relationship with your body in the hopes of creating a better connection. I believe in working through forgiveness, awareness, grief, permission and celebration in order to come out with a fuller more honest relationship with the body. Through creative means, we will explore how your body experiences the world with a mission towards mending your relationship.

What you can expect from me

I strive to keep the therapeutic space affirming and aligned to all sexual orientation gender presentations and cultural backgrounds and while our lived experiences may not be the same, it is my goal to stay connected to you through this supportive space.
