Clinician in the Spotlight


Jess Albright, LGPC
Psychotherapist

Jess is a psychotherapist who provides mental health counseling to kids, tween, teens, young adults, and their families.  She understands that life can be really challenging, and that every individual has great value and deserves a helping hand when faced with life’s obstacles.  With a strong client-centered approach to therapy, Jess allows each client’s uniqueness help determine the therapeutic path.  Just as no two people are like, nor is her approach to each client’s needs. 

Jess’s key belief is that in order to move forward, there must be a collaborative client/therapist relationship built on acceptance and trust.  Through warmth, humor, empathy, and compassion, she strives to mirror the words of Carl Rogers, who stated, “But when the therapist does understand  how it truly feels to be in another person’s world, without wanting or trying to analyze or judge it, then the therapist and client can truly blossom and grow in that climate.” 

Jess holds Undergraduate Degrees in both Education and Art and she received a Master's Degree in School Counseling from Gallaudet University.  Through the years she has held various education and counseling positions, obtaining considerable clinical perspective.  Her specialties include anxiety, depression, stress management, conceptualization/self esteem, and life transitions. 

Jess is also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), which enables her to work with Deaf/Hard of Hearing/Hearing children, adolescents, and families within the Deaf Community.
