Welcome to Breyta Psychological Services! At Breyta, we are trauma specialists committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to help you navigate life’s challenges. While trauma-informed care is critical for those with PTSD, it’s also essential for anyone facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or other struggles. Understanding how stress and life experiences impact mental health can create a foundation for healing and meaningful growth. Our team of licensed psychologists offers individual therapy, couples therapy, and psychological assessment services to college students and young adults. Whether you’re managing academic stress, adjusting to new life transitions, or working through deeper emotional challenges, we are here to support you. Why Trauma-Informed Care Matters: Even if you don’t identify as having PTSD, a trauma-informed approach ensures your care is sensitive to how past experiences shape your current struggles. By addressing the root causes of emotional pain, we help you build resilience, develop healthier patterns, and move forward with confidence and clarity. What We Offer: Individual Therapy: We provide support for depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, sleep concerns, grief, chronic conditions, and burnout. Couples Therapy: Strengthen your relationship, improve communication, and address challenges with the guidance of our skilled therapists. Psychological Assessment: Gain clarity through comprehensive assessments for mental health concerns. Why Choose Breyta? Specialized Expertise: Our clinicians are highly trained in trauma-informed care, using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based methods. Culturally Responsive Care: We provide affirming support for students of all backgrounds, including first-generation college students, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those navigating dual identities. Flexible Services: With in-person and telehealth options, we meet you where you are—both physically and emotionally. Take the First Step Toward Thriving: At Breyta Psychological Services, we believe that change is possible, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and begin your journey toward healing, resilience, and growth.

People seek counseling for many reasons. Regardless of your reason, it is a brave and vulnerable step to take and I’m glad you’re here. My role is to assist you in reaching the goals you have for yourself by providing safe and non-judgmental support, and helping you to exercise your own strengths, rather than to give you advice. Until recently, I was a mental health counselor on a small college campus. I have worked with many college students on diverse issues such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and stress, and I understand the challenges of grappling with these issues while also trying to succeed in college. Let's talk!

My name is Jessie and I have been working with children, teens, and adults in goal-directed, individual therapy for over 10 years. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, and trauma and I have been trained in TF-CBT (trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy) and DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy). I utilize many modalities in my treatment but have most experience with mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and goal-directed/solution-focused therapy. I happily incorporate different approaches in my therapy style to best support you. I enjoy helping individuals change their cognitions to function in a healthier way. I balance listening, understanding, and questioning to help you find your best solution. I utilize education to help the client gain insight about potential changes to improve daily life, relationships, emotional control, and (most importantly): happiness. I am open to feedback and believe that therapy is client directed. My preference is for continual goal evaluation to measure successes and define challenges. I provide a safe and understanding place for clients to explore and express themselves. I look forward to helping you define and achieve your goals.

Do you ever feel that you have too much on your plate or that your emotions overwhelm you? It can feel like there is no way to escape these feelings, and that there is no way to change. It can be hard to go through these issues on your own, but therapy can be a space where these issues can be addressed. It can provide you the opportunity to explore who you are and make the changes that you want to see in your life. In therapy we will address the issue that you see as obstacles from achieving your goals and having a better understanding of yourself.

We all experience pain, grief, disappointment and heartbreak in life. How do we adjust to these challenges while life is still moving? I am glad that you are here seeking therapy and support. My responsibility as a therapist is to support individuals and families without judgment. One of the goals in therapy to build trust, integrity and a therapeutic connection to begin working towards empowering individuals to changing distorted thoughts, behaviors or challenges in a person’s life. I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, relational conflicts and trauma. I provide effective coping skills to manage daily life. I also engage with clients to empower effective mind altering thinking to improve results in behavior and choices. My focus is to provide individuals with support through the therapeutic process. Identifying and explore feelings, thoughts and behaviors are key to make life more enjoyable. As a therapist my goal is to provide a client with support with the process of breakthrough, healing, and empowerment to move forward in life with personal and professional relationships.
