Dr. Jessica Burroughs

Dr. Jessica Burroughs

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY & NJ. Recently successfully defended 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.

Hi, I'm Jessica and I love supporting youth and their families to bring out confidence and build healthy relationship patterns to support them as they grow in today's world. I have background in Expressive Arts Therapy and bring creative approaches including art, play, and drama therapy techniques as entry points into cognitive behavioral interventions and strategies to assist with behavior, emotion regulation, and understanding of one's self.

I know what it's like to struggle and please know that it DOES get better! In my early 20's I battled anxiety and made a vow to learn how to manage these symptoms and help others manage them too! I went back to school at Columbia University where I learned as much as I could about how to effectively treat mental health conditions and personal challenges. I understand both professionally AND personally how challenging life can be and believe fully in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship!
