Jessica Kaminsky

I am passionate about empowering clients to connect with their authentic selves and strengths in order to heal, grow, and make meaningful life changes. Whether it's navigating life transitions or grief, learning to manage anxiety, stress, or depression, or processing trauma and other difficult emotions or experiences, I aim to provide a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore and process openly. I believe that therapy works best as a collaborative process between client and therapist and utilize an integrative approach to help clients identify their individual goals and build insight, skills, and the confidence to reach them. I currently work with teens, young adults, and adults on a number of concerns such as anxiety/stress, self-esteem, sexual abuse, grief, trauma, depression, and life transitions. I have professional experience both in and outside of the mental health field in private practice, medical, corporate, and non-profit settings that has informed my work with clients. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness techniques and strengths-based approaches to help clients feel more grounded, present, and empowered. Additionally, I have experience working with the sexual violence survivor community, which led me to pursue my 40HR Sexual Assault Crisis Counseling training certificate through the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault in 2020. I truly feel honored to serve as a pillar of support for survivors, ensuring that they do not have to walk the path towards healing alone. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you build toward the life you want!
