Thank you for taking the first step to your therapeutic journey! I am Jessie, LCSW. I hope this page helps you get a better sense of my therapeutic style and determine whether we are a great fit.
Jessie Schroeder, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (she/her)
- Work best with: Children & Adolescents, Young Adults, LGBTQIA+
- Appointments: Both in-person and telehealth
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
I will meet you with warmth and compassion, as my approach is relational and grounded in authenticity. I integrate psychodynamic, existential, narrative, and systems-based approaches as I guide you through your own internal processing. For those in need of more tangible skill-building, I may incorporate SFBT, CBT, or DBT to assist with emotional regulation, behavioral patterns, or interpersonal abilities.
During an intake session, you can expect a holistic approach as I get to know you, your strengths, and the ways you’re hoping to grow or learn from our time together. I also value the importance of you getting to ask me questions about myself, my therapeutic style, and whether you feel like I would be a good fit for you and your needs.
I am also passionate about considering cultural, racial, and ethnic factors in my work to ensure that you receive care that honors your unique background and experiences. I strive to provide an inclusive space that cultivates all different parts of you. My commitment to ongoing self-education, advocacy, and introspection is essential to my work.
When working with children and young teenagers, I like to include various art or sensory activities to serve as a bridge to their internal world. Through play, creativity, being messy, etc., children can better learn about themselves and the world around them. No matter how young the patient, I believe we are all capable of learning about our emotions, conquering our fears, and growing in how we interact with others.
