MEET JESSICA ROTHBAUM
**New client openings will be available starting in the Fall on September 1st, 2024**
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Parent Coach with extensive experience providing therapy to young children, adolescents, adults, and their families across a variety of settings. I balance the use of individual, family and parent sessions to strengthen relationships in order to foster lasting change.
Treatment Approach
My approach to therapy is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space that feels meaningful and engaging. I work from a strengths-based model believing that individuals have the built-in resources needed to make meaningful changes when given a safe, supportive space to process and heal. In my sessions, I combine expressive therapies with parent-child dyadic work to support parents, caregivers and their children as they navigate through and find resilience within life’s challenges. My approach integrates creative modalities, including sand and play therapy interventions with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques. I work with children, teens, and young adults enjoy meaningful relationships, adjust to change, handle conflict, make sense of their thoughts and emotions, and feel good about who they are.
In meeting with caregivers, I focus on helping them acknowledge and expand on their strengths, connect positively with their children, and feel empowered. With a special interest in the parent-child relationship, I am devoted not only to helping parents survive difficult parenting moments, but also supporting them in a way that lets their children grow and learn new ways of dealing with uncomfortable emotions.
I have my certification in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based treatment for children (2-7) experiencing challenges with aggression, defiance, emotional dysregulation, and varying sensory needs. I am also a SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood emotions) provider, offering parents supportive strategies for increasing their child's independence and confidence.
I earned my B.A. in Spanish and Biology from Indiana University - Bloomington and obtained a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Washington University.
