Who I Am
I’m Jessica Esposito, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR-Certified therapist supporting people through some of life’s most painful moments.
I specialize in grief, trauma, anxiety, and attachment — the kinds of pain that don’t just go away on their own, and that require more than just “talking about it.” My approach combines evidence-based methods like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and ego state work with a genuinely warm, human connection that my clients tell me makes all the difference.
My Vision
At Aligned Mind Therapy, I believe that every person deserves access to compassionate, skilled support and that the right therapeutic relationship can be genuinely life-changing. My work is grounded in science, led by empathy, and rooted in the belief that change is always possible.
I meet you exactly where you are, then walk alongside you toward the person you’re working to become. No judgment. No rushed timelines.
Staying current with the latest trauma research and therapeutic approaches so you receive the most effective care available.
Why Work with me
The people I work with are often carrying experiences they’ve never fully been able to put into words — losses that shook them to their core, childhoods that left them questioning their worth, or anxieties that have quietly run their lives for years.
I chose to specialize in these areas because they matter deeply to me — and because I’ve seen firsthand how transformative the right support can be. EMDR therapy, in particular, has allowed my clients to process experiences that had felt completely stuck for years, often in far less time than traditional talk therapy alone.
What I offer
Traumatic experiences leave their mark in ways that words alone can’t always reach. Using EMDR, inner child work, and evidence-based modalities, I process what’s been stored in your nervous system.
Losing someone you love, especially suddenly or violently, can leave you feeling frozen, numb, and completely alone. This is a safe space to honor your loss, process the pain, and find a path forward at your own pace.
Anxiety is exhausting mentally, emotionally, and physically. Together we’ll calm your nervous system, identify what’s driving the worry, and build real tools to help you feel grounded and in control again.
Childhood experiences shape the way we connect with others. If you’re caught in cycles of fear, distance, or conflict in your relationships, I’ll explore the roots and build the secure foundation you’ve always deserved.
CBT helps you identify, challenge, and reframe the negative beliefs that drive anxiety, low self-worth, and emotional distress. It’s structured, evidence-based, and effective — with real tools you can use outside the therapy room.
Expert EMDR consultation for therapists who want to deepen their trauma practice, covering case conceptualization, clinical questions, and ongoing professional growth in evidence-based care.
You don’t have to have the right words or know exactly where to start. That’s what the consultation is for. Reach out, and we’ll figure out the next step together.
Whether you have questions, want to learn more about a specific service, or are ready to schedule a consultation, this is the right place to start. There’s no pressure and no commitment, just a conversation.
