I'm Jaleesa, a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC), and my heart has always been drawn to walking alongside others through life's challenges. Born and raised in St. Louis, I've followed this calling through various paths—from the judicial system to education, and finally to my true passion: counseling. My training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy allows me to connect with the emotional core of your experience to facilitate deep, lasting healing. I weave this approach together with attachment-based work, cognitive-behavioral tools, and strengths-based techniques, always adapting to honor your unique story. I work with young adults, adults, and elders navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I believe we aren't problems waiting to be solved, but beautiful stories waiting to be heard and understood. I'm currently accepting new clients for telehealth sessions and accept a range of insurance plans. I'd be honored to create a safe space where healing and growth can take root.
