Jessica Luiz(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Jessica Luiz is a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to supporting individual adults and couples seeking meaningful change in their lives. Her clients often come to her carrying emotional pain—whether it's the daily impact of anxiety or depression, feeling disconnected in relationships, or struggling with stress and self-criticism at work. Dr. Luiz helps her clients explore these present challenges, uncover and release painful past experiences, and re-engage more fully with their careers, relationships, and personal lives.

In therapy, Dr. Luiz combines insight-oriented exploration with practical, evidenced-based approaches (CBT and ACT). She gently encourages clients to identify the root causes of their emotional and relationship patterns while providing strategies, such as relaxation and mindfulness techniques to offer immediate relief.

She specializes in helping adults navigate significant life changes related to health, relationships, parenthood, careers, and education. Dr. Luiz also has expertise in addressing depression, anxiety (including social anxiety, phobias, OCD, and skin/hair-picking behaviors), trauma (acute and chronic), as well as perinatal and postpartum mental health challenges. As a trauma-informed therapist, she is attuned to how past experiences influence present difficulties and works with clients to reshape their life narrative in a way that fosters self-confidence and compassion. Her top priority with new clients is creating a safe, welcoming space where they feel heard and empowered.

Dr. Luiz is committed to creating an inclusive practice, welcoming clients who are exploring diverse identities (multiracial, non-monogamous, gender fluid, LGBTQIA+) and how these identities shape their life experiences. She offers the flexibility of remote therapy sessions and is currently accepting new clients into her online practice.
