About Jessica Siegel, LCSW

Psychotherapist

Thanks for visiting my site.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified School Social Worker who earned my master's degree in clinical social work and school social work from The University of Chicago. I work with clients ages 13 to 80 supporting the individual, couple and/or family using a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities.  My process involves creating trust, having curiosity, listening, hearing and seeing you, providing psychoeducation, and holding space for you to stabilize and find peace within. I'm looking forward to working with you along your journey towards greater self-awareness/esteem and healthier relationships, while using your coping skills to improve your quality of life. The good news is "struggling does not mean you are failing" and YES to gratitude and laughter along the way!

My philosophy is that no matter how deep the pain or complex the problem, you have within you the wisdom and strength to heal, grow, and flourish.
