Jessica Whittington, MSW, LCSW
Jessica@innersourcetherapy.com I believe each person's life is like a journey that can lead to the experience of wellbeing, resilience, and joy, but the journey can sometimes be difficult. I meet individuals where they are in life. I support them in identifying the barriers preventing them from experiencing wellbeing and resilience in the midst of life's pressures and teach them tools they can develop and use to get where they want to be. I am passionate about helping individuals recover from traumatic experiences and lead fulfilling lives. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I have undergone rigorous training and obtained certification in the field of trauma therapy. I possess a deep understanding of the effects of trauma on individuals, families, and communities, and I am equipped with the skills to provide comprehensive support and intervention. With my expertise, I am adept at assessing, diagnosing, and treating various forms of trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma (cPTSD), and acute stress reactions. I work collaboratively with individuals from diverse backgrounds, establishing a safe and non-judgmental environment to facilitate healing and recovery. One of my key strengths lies in my ability to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's unique needs. I employ evidence-based therapeutic techniques and interventions to help individuals process their traumatic experiences, manage distressing symptoms, and develop healthy coping strategies. Through a combination of talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches, somatic experiencing, and other trauma-focused modalities, I empower my clients to regain control over their lives and rebuild their resilience. Moreover, I understand the interconnected nature of trauma and various mental health conditions. I possess a comprehensive knowledge of co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and dissociative disorders, allowing me to provide integrated and holistic care to individuals facing multiple challenges. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I also play a crucial role in advocating for my clients within the broader social and healthcare systems. I collaborate with other professionals, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, and medical practitioners, to ensure a multidisciplinary approach to trauma treatment. I am a champion of trauma-informed care, actively working to educate organizations, schools, and communities about the impact of trauma and the importance of creating safe and supportive environments. If you are seeking support to overcome trauma and regain control over your life, I am here to help. With my knowledge, skills, and unwavering commitment, I am dedicated to assisting you on your healing journey and helping you lead a more fulfilling and resilient life. |
