Jessica Cliff, LMFT

Reached out to Jessica a few months back because I was dealing with some issues in my life and wanted to get some perspective/​advice from a professional. She’s awesome. Easy to talk to. Great listener. Makes you feel very comfortable from the first minutes in her office. She helped me immensely. It’s hard to make that first step when reaching out to a therapist. I am so glad I contacted Jessica. Highly recommend her!

In 3.5 shorts months, I became a single mother to a child with a special need. It’s not how I pictured my life. I tried to do it all on my own. I tried to work through the anger, sadness, confusion, etc. on my own. I couldn’t do it anymore so I started searching for a therapist. Jessica’s profile came up and after reading her website and a few other therapists sites, I closed the computer. I was afraid to reach out. I was a new mom, afterall. I am suppose to be able to handle anything and everything. I finally decided to email Jessica to set up our first session. 2+ years later, I am still seeing Jessica and I couldn’t have chosen a better therapist.
She is a gentle soul. She allows her clients to vent, to speak without interruption. She guides you, she sympathizes, she is empathetic. She is a mom. She has gotten me through my divorce and the struggles of dealing with a child who’s vision isn’t ²⁰⁄₂₀ and never will be. She has watched the many tears roll down my cheeks and always offers a tissue. She has seen me at my lowest point and my happiest. My divorce is final but I continue seeing her because it’s my time-​out from the daily grind of being a single mom to a toddler. My sessions are solely for me. When others ask for recommendations, I will refer them to Jessica because of how much she has personally helped me. The day I don’t need her anymore will be very difficult but I will always have her voice in my head to help guide me along.

Saying I was in a dark place close to two years ago would be an under statement. I seriously felt like I had lost my mind. I lost my job and got dumped. I was constantly crying and just felt like I needed to find someone to help me. I needed help and my previous therapists didn’t fulfill my needs. I remember looking through the net coming across Jessica’s information. I remember talking to her on the phone and crying my heart out. She said «lets have you come and see me. Looks like you really need someone to talk to.» I cried EVERY session, I was at ground zero. I seriously felt like I would never get better. I saw her every week. Words can’t express how thankful I am to Jessica. She helped me rebuild my confidence and freed me from my demons (negative thoughts and self sabotage to say the least.) She’s easy to talk to. I feel comfortable talking to her about anything and I have.
Fast forward to today, I see her every two weeks or as needed. Although I’m in a much better place I still choose to see her. I discuss any issues or stress I maybe feeling and she gives me tools to cope with them. Words can’t express how grateful I am to her. I don’t know if I would be where I am today without her support and guidance.

Last year my boyfriend who is now my fiancé started to see Jessica as a couples counselor. My father had just passed away unexpectedly, our family business was sinking with the economy and my depression from all of it was taking a huge toll on both my fiancé and my life. I was having anxiety attacks all the time, he and I were arguing all the time and I just couldn’t seem to make it work. Finally e and I hit Rock bottom in our relationship and almost broke up. We both knew that we had to give it one more shot and that we would have to seek help for it. I found Jessica on a website that gave her background and we both decides she would fit. I have seen therapists before and knew how to weed out a bad one quickly. When we met with her we instantly knew we found the right one. She was completely unbiased. She was kind but honest. She helped us develop the communication skills necessary for our relationship to survive. She helped me on my depression and referred me to great outside help for issues that were outside her scope of practice. Here we are 10 months later and my relationship with my fiancé is Amazing! My depression is few and far between, no more anxiety attacks and no more beating myself up. Her price which absolutely fair is worth every penny! I see here every three months now to make sure I don’t allow stuff to build ip an both my fiancé and are incredibly grateful for her helping us save our relationship! I refer to anyone and everyone I know! She really is what therapy is supposed to be!
