Jessica Vechakul, LMFT, MPH, PhD
I specialize in supporting high achievers with marginalized identities. I especially enjoy working with Asian Americans, LGBTQ+, people of color (BIPOC), and women in tech.
We face so many pressures about who we should be and how we should live our lives.
Sometimes we end up hiding parts of ourselves or conforming to belong. And we lose touch with who we truly are and what makes us feel alive. This disconnection to our truth can lead to feeling depressed, anxious, lonely, or not good enough.
Imagine what it would be like to feel whole and accepted for all of your beautiful complexity.
Therapy can be a non-judgmental space for you to reflect and explore what matters most to you. I can support you in healing old wounds and transforming harmful patterns that lead to feeling stuck, emotional upheaval, depletion, or chronic illness.
Together, we can uncover the roots of what is holding you back (whether it’s personal, relational, or societal) so you can create more of the life you want.
Throughout my life, hardships led me to seek healing in many forms. My life struggles help me relate to people who suffer from a variety of issues.
The insights and skills I gained in my own healing journey enable me to support others. And, the difficulties I’ve worked through have become my areas of specialization.
Now, I am passionate about helping people create a life of joy and fulfillment.
I can support you in:
Connecting with your inner guidance
Developing strong boundaries and groundedness
Finding freedom from trauma
Cultivating compassion for yourself and others
Finding purpose and meaning
You have the healing potential within you. If you want a partner to support you along your journey of healing and self-discovery, contact me to see how we can work together.
