Jessica Fink, LCSW, creates an open and inviting space for clients to explore their past, present and future in order to live fully and better handle life’s challenges.
She welcomes clients of all backgrounds and identities, with a particular interest in helping both teen and adult clients strengthen interpersonal relationships, manage depression and anxiety, and work through trauma.
Jessica’s clinical work focuses on clients experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, and phobias, with a strong foundation in trauma informed care. She is trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). Jessica has a special interest in supporting the perinatal population through the emotional shifts of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood, as well as attorneys and those in the political arena, helping them balance their success and challenges with overall life satisfaction.
Jessica believes our experiences live not only in our mind, but in our body, and healing occurs when we connect the two. She utilizes strengths-based, solutions-focused, and mindfulness-based approaches, combining aspects of CBT, psychodynamic, attachment theory and other specialized modalities based on the unique needs of each client.
She received her Master’s of Social Work from Catholic University of America, where she focused on person-in-environment and trauma informed practice. Jessica has a Bachelor’s of Arts in Journalism and Economics from Emory University, representing her capacity to create meaning in the unique stories of others while at the same time understanding the practicalities that exist in everyday life. Originally from Michigan, Jessica has lived in the DC area for the past 15 years.
Jessica believes that clients are the experts in their lives and empowers each person to strengthen their sense of self and realize their best lives.
