Nice to meet you
I'm Jessika Johnson, a devoted therapist dedicated to navigating life's intricate paths alongside you. Embracing a life of constant movement, I've discovered my home and purpose in Kurdistan.
My diverse life experiences blend seamlessly with a varied skill set, offering a unique and personalized approach to therapy. Fluent in English, French, German, and Arabic, I provide sessions tailored to your linguistic preferences.
After earning my BA in New York City, I continued my studies in psychology and counseling & psychotherapy in London, and coaching in France. Additionally, I hold certifications in EMDR therapy, child development, and specialization in ADHD diagnosis, offering a comprehensive approach to support your needs.
Beyond the therapeutic realm, I'm an artist, infusing creativity into every aspect of my life. When not immersed in art, you'll often find me fostering animals, reflecting a deep love for both artistic expression and compassion.
About me
Services
Counseling
We will focus on specific issues, such as relationship problems, grief, stress management, or career transitions. It involves short-term interventions aimed at providing practical solutions and support.
Coaching
We will focus on specific goals and actions to help you achieve success and fulfillment and to make positive changes in your life. We adopt a more action-oriented approach, emphasising goal-setting, problem-solving, and skill-building.
Psychotherapy
We will delve deeper into emotional challenges and issues such as depression, trauma, anxiety, aiming for long-term insight and behavioral change. It involves longer-term treatment aimed at exploring underlying causes and patterns of behavior.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy is a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.
The fee is $50 per 50min consultation, however, I do offer a sliding scale. Please contact me.
Initially, I was hesitant to pursue counseling, but after deciding to give it a try and attending my first session, it completely changed my perspective. I used to believe I had to face my challenges alone and keep my feelings bottled up. However, through several sessions, I've gained a deeper understanding of myself and learned effective ways to manage my emotions. I highly recommend Jessika for her empathy and unwavering support. She creates a safe and nurturing environment where you can freely express yourself. Jessika's adaptability and consistent guidance make her an invaluable resource for anyone seeking emotional support and guidance.
K. H.
Jessika has been an incredible source of support and understanding. Years of feeling like an outcast started to make sense. Her empathy and insight have been instrumental in guiding me through everything. I felt completely lost and alone struggling to make sense of what was going on inside of me. I truly feel more empowered and understand myself better than ever. I never imagined finding someone who could truly understand what goes on in my head, especially when I didn't fully understand it myself. I am immensely grateful for Jessika's dedication and empathy. Thank you for all that you do.
