About Jessica Roy

I view therapeutic work as an invitation to turn towards the areas of our lives that are calling to us for some attention. Sometimes this means the challenging, confusing, painful, and mysterious parts of life. Other times it may mean exploring our connection to sense of self, our desires, creativity, and vitality. Therapy helps us to consider where we would like to grow, change, and heal - within a safe-enough space based in curiosity and connection.

Each of us comes from our own context - life is complex, and I think it is valuable to consider all the factors that influence our sense of well-being. This means holding space for social, cultural, economic, and systemic forces that impact our lives. I specialize in working with young adults and those who are exploring the intersection of identity, life transition, purpose, and mental health. My doctoral research centers on the normalization of maternal burnout within the American socio-cultural context, and as such I enjoy working with mothers navigating identity, relationships, and mental health.

I am a registered Psychological Associate (PSB 94027089) under the supervision of Dr. Charles Eckhart and a Doctoral Candidate in Clinical Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. I completed my practicum training under the supervision of Dr. Eric Nelson in the Counseling and Psychological Services Center (CAPS) at Westmont College, and my pre-Doctoral Internship as a Psychological Associate in private practice under the supervision of Dr. Darren Del Castillo.
