Men's Issues
I work with men who are seeking alternatives to traditional talk therapy. As a result of gender socialization, many men struggle with vulnerability and opening up, even with close friends and loved ones. Art therapy and EMDR are forms of therapy that provide a path to identifying and exploring emotions, processing trauma, and developing self-awareness without engaging in extensive verbal dialogue.
LGBTQ+
If you are questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity, you don't need to have all the answers or define yourself before you're ready. Maybe you're further along your journey and are looking for support from a queer therapist in a nonjudgmental space. I support young people navigate what can be an isolating process and I am passionate about helping my LGBTQ+ clients build confidence, queer community, and a strong sense of self.
Trauma
Trauma is an experience of having no choice about what happened to you. This is the common denominator in the experiences of victims of sexual assault, survivors of mass shootings, and children placed in foster care. Trauma can also result from less obvious sources. Being caught in the middle of your parents' bitter divorce, bullying or rejection by peers, or the death of a loved one can leave deep and lasting wounds. Guilt, shame, and a loss of trust are common reactions to a traumatic event and may result in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I employ evidence-based modalities such as EMDR and art therapy to help clients get the relief they deserve.
I help my clients build a brighter future.
Through art therapy, EMDR, individual therapy, and family therapy, Kerry Jessup Counseling and Art Therapy empowers clients to create change and healing in their lives.
