What others are saying:
“I have known Jessica for nearly 20 years. She is exceptionally gifted in helping others find their truth. She always carries hope, and her very presence creates a space of healing. Jessica is a true professional.”
Darci Newton, L.C.S.W.
"Jessica and I have known each other for several years and we co-facilitated a women’s psychotherapy group together in Summer of 2016. Her personal depth and professional ethic contribute to her warm, supportive alliance with clients. Jessica’s commitment to her own personal growth and to encouraging others to become the people they wish to be make her an exceptional therapist. Were my own family in need of a good therapist, be they child or adult, I would confidently refer to Jessica knowing that they would receive the very best care."

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jessica Ryder for many years as a friend and colleague. Jessica is at the top of my list when making referrals. I would happily refer my own children, close friends or other family members to Jessica because I know they would find resolution to their concerns, while being treated with dignity and kindness. I am continually impressed by Jessica's depth of knowledge, experience and abilities as a therapist. In addition to being highly dedicated and ethical, she is able to create an atmosphere of safety, one where you will begin to experience self-acceptance and growth.
