Professional statement
Jessica Cabrera is licensed as a Creative Arts Therapist in New York State, and a provisionally registered as an Art Therapist with the national art Therapy Credential Board (ATCB). She graduated with a Master of Arts in counseling- art therapy at Edinboro University. She has a Associates degree in Applied Science with a Multimedia and Design major and a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts.
Jessica has been in therapeutic practice for 4 years, in various settings, from ages of toddler to adulthood, but primarily in outpatient clinics, and as a Graduate Master of Arts in counseling- art therapy and facilitator. She has worked with individuals, groups, in supportive family sessions and groups, and Early Childhood Mental Health Initiative serving children and families age birth to five.
Her theoretical orientation for Art Therapy encompasses psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Expressive Arts Therapy, solution focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered/Rogerian. This means that she focus in supporting you through a flexible and holistic lens using art to explore unconscious patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts and express emotions that may be difficult to verbalize. She helps clients identify their strengths, clarify goals, and stay motivated towards meaningful change, all within a compassionate, nonjudgmental space that honors each person’s unique voice and creative process. She adapts methods to your need and use art as both a diagnostic and healing tool, helping you gain insight, build confidence, and move forwards with clarity. Finally, Jessica is oriented through a trauma-informed framework, which means she prioritize safety, choice, empowerment, and trust in the therapeutic relationship. She currently offers remote sessions online.

Therapist's note
Individual therapy is billed on a sliding scale and using an equitable fee structure, at the rate of $120-$130 for a 50 min session. Your fee is determined at the beginning of services, and, if set at a lower fee scale, it will be reviewed periodically in a manner reflecting accessibility and equity and in response to your evolving financial circumstances, while in respect of services rendered.
Please discuss with me what your financial needs may be as they evolve, and we will evaluate on a bimonthly basis your ability to pay closer to or full fee when this is possible. This model allows greater access to therapy services for individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford them, at the time when they may need it most. When you are in a position to pay full fee, it helps to cover the costs for others to begin or continue on their wellness journey at a lower sliding scale rate—and create social action for equity with reverberating and far-reaching impacts collectively.
