Hello! I’m Jessica Cook, a seasoned and passionate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist on a mission to bring a fresh and modern perspective to couples and family therapy. With over 12 years of experience, I’ve cultivated a therapeutic approach that seamlessly blends humor, compassion, authenticity, and a touch of grit.
Humor as a Healing Tool: In my sessions, laughter isn’t just welcomed; it’s encouraged. I believe that humor can be a powerful tool for breaking down barriers, fostering connection, and creating a space where authenticity can thrive. Life’s challenges may be serious, but our journey toward healing doesn’t have to be devoid of joy and lightness.
Compassion in Every Interaction: Navigating the complexities of relationships requires a compassionate guide. I approach each client with an open heart and a deep understanding that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Together, we’ll explore your unique dynamics, acknowledging the beauty and imperfections that make your relationships uniquely yours.
Authenticity as the Foundation: In a world that often encourages masks, I value authenticity. I strive to create an environment where you and your loved ones can show up as your true selves, free from judgment. By embracing our authentic selves, we can uncover the roots of challenges and work towards sustainable, positive change.
Grit for Resilience: Life’s journey can be tough, and relationships often face their fair share of challenges. With a touch of grit, we’ll tackle these obstacles head-on, developing resilience and strength in the process. I believe that facing adversity can lead to profound growth, and I’m here to guide you through the journey. Holistic Approach to Healing: Recognizing the deep impact of trauma, I am trained in and utilize Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). This specialized technique allows for a profound exploration of trauma, fostering healing on a deeper level.
Areas of Specialization: My practice thrives on diversity, and I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, attachment styles and issues, life stage transitions, pre-marital counseling, modern relationships, PTSD, and trauma.
About Me: I earned my stripes with an Undergraduate Degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and further honed my skills with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Northern Colorado and have since dedicated my career to empowering individuals, couples, and families. I’m not just a therapist; I’m a fellow traveler on the messy and beautiful road of relationships and life.
Professional Expertise: For more than 12 years, I’ve dedicated myself to the field of therapy, working with individuals, children, couples, and families. My commitment to continuous growth led me to become a trained Gottman Level One therapist, employing research-based techniques to strengthen relationships. Additionally, as an Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT), I bring a profound understanding of the emotional intricacies that shape our connections.
My philosophy and beliefs involve the power of connection, resilience, and growth. Every individual and family have the capacity for positive change, and my role is to provide a safe and supportive environment for that transformation to unfold.
If you’re ready to embark on a journey that combines modern insight with heart, I invite you to reach out. Let’s navigate this adventure together, finding humor in the tough times, compassion in the challenges, authenticity in every moment, and the grit to build a resilient foundation for your life and relationships.
Embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing with the guidance of a compassionate psychedelic integration therapist.

In the high-stakes world of first responders, the toll on mental and emotional well-being can be profound. As a dedicated first responder therapist, I specialize in providing a confidential and understanding space for those who serve our communities with courage and commitment.
Navigating the unique challenges of the “invincibility” culture, we will work together to explore the heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and trauma that can accompany the demands of your profession. My goal is to support you in processing and healing within a nonjudgmental environment, empowering you to prioritize your mental health and well-being.
Whether you’re an officer, firefighter, paramedic, or emergency services professional, I am here to help you navigate the complexities of your experiences. Together, we can address the impact of critical incidents, manage the cumulative stress, and foster resilience in the face of adversity.
In my experience working with first responders, coupled with a deep understanding of the unique psychological challenges you face, your well-being is paramount, and our collaborative journey will focus on enhancing coping mechanisms, improving mental health, and strengthening the vital connections in your life.
Embarking on a journey of healing from trauma requires a compassionate guide who understands the intricate paths to recovery. As a dedicated EMDR and trauma therapist, I am here to offer you a safe and supportive space to navigate through the impact of past experiences and embark on a transformative healing process.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapeutic approach that taps into your body’s innate capacity for healing. Together, we will embark on a journey of reprocessing memories, allowing you to untangle from the grip of past traumas and cultivate a more adaptive way of thinking, feeling, and being.
In our sessions, I utilize bilateral stimulation techniques, such as eye movements or taps, to guide you through the reprocessing of memories. This process opens avenues for healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of empowerment. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of a single traumatic event or a series of challenging experiences, our collaborative work will focus on restoring balance and promoting overall well-being.
I provide a commitment to creating a nonjudgmental space where you can explore your journey towards healing at your own pace. If you’re ready to reclaim your strength and resilience, I invite you to take the first step towards a life marked by empowerment, self-discovery, and freedom from the chains of trauma.
