Counseling and Coaching
NOTE: I have a very full client load and limited availability to take new clients. If you are interested in working with me, please send me a message at jwestrom@gmail.com
I provide individual counseling for adult women online via video conferencing technology. (Please note that I do not provide in person psychotherapy sessions; all sessions are online.)
I work with women who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, empty nest, caretaking, loss of identity in life roles, aging, or who are seeking personal growth. I am also experienced in working with chronic mental illness, extreme sexual trauma, borderline personality, and dissociative disorders. I have an inclusive and affirming approach to diverse/plural expressions of sexual orientation, gender identity, and relationship structures.
I am EMDR trained. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that helps people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress caused by disturbing life experiences more rapidly than traditional therapy. It is an effective treatment for PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) or other trauma-related distressing symptoms. I also participate in regular workshops and trainings on Jungian approaches to psychological healing.
I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I earned my M.A. degree in religious studies from the University of Chicago, my M.S. in counseling from the University of North Texas, and B.A. degree in English literature from the University of Texas at Austin.
Coaching
I provide phone coaching for women seeking assistance with life writing projects or personal growth. Please email me at jwestrom@gmail.com to schedule a free consult to discuss your goals for coaching.
Fees
I have a flexible fee schedule where you tell me what you can pay per session, usually between $100-$200 for individual sessions. My group fees are $0-20 per session. (Note: My current individual session fee for women in the life/industry is $85.)
