"I have struggled to find a therapist that i felt was worth the time and money, but Jessica has been a great support. She is kind, sincere, honest & available. she is always professional yet warm & caring. If i could afford it, I would see her multiple times a week but i am self pay and financially cannot commit to intense scheduled sessions right now. I have recommended her & the practice to many people. I am grateful I had her in some of my most difficult situations."

I've had the amazing opportunity to work with Jessica in the past and I can't recommend her enough. She is an incredible, empathetic clinician to who I would refer any client (and do!). She has a broad range of experience with different populations and presenting problems and provides effective, compassionate therapy.

Working with Jessica will be one of the best decisions you've ever made. Having worked with other therapists in the past, I can honestly say that her ability to make clients feel safe, heard, and validated is rare and special.

“I had an outstanding experience with Jessica Leader at Root to Rise Therapy. She helped me understand a difficult anxiety that I had been experiencing, giving me not only the tools to cope with it, but a new perspective to reframe it and lessen its impact. Hard work, no doubt, but I am a stronger and better version of myself as a result. Thank you Jessica!”
