Jessamy Rahman-Klapper(She/Her/Hers)

Jessamy's experience and education as a social worker have focused intensely on the needs of trauma survivors, particularly those who have endured interpersonal violence and abuse. She takes a holistic approach to trauma recovery, addressing how our minds, bodies, and emotions respond to and cope with trauma. Jessamy is also mindful of the many ways we can suffer emotional injuries while trying to survive under racist, misogynistic, ableist, Islamophobic, and other oppressive systems. She will work with you to use therapy tools to resist the internal impacts of these systems and, where appropriate, find ways to resist their material impacts. Jessamy will never suggest that you can think, meditate, or otherwise "therapize" yourself out of being affected by these systems. She also enjoys working with adults who suspect they may be neurodivergent or have recently learned that they are, addressing both the lifelong trauma of trying to conform to neurotypical standards and the need to develop strategies that work with your unique brain rather than against it.
