Jessica Arivett
LAC LAMFT

“When a person enters their first counseling session, they have already made the courageous decision to pursue growth and healing. My goal is to come alongside my clients in order to support that path towards change, whether that be individual healing from life’s challenges and traumas, or navigating relational struggles that keep them stuck in patterns that just aren’t working. I’m here to hear your story and to help you find more peace in your relationship with yourself and others.”

“Internal Family Systems Therapy had such a profound impact on me, I received the training so I could pass the experience along to others to benefit from it. The different parts of our personality that feel shame or annoyance or distract us can be seen, heard and understood in order to work as a healthy functioning whole. Come experience IFS!”
