P.S. Therapy

THERAPIST

Jessica Lense, LMHC-D

Office: Brooklyn/Telehealth | Pronouns: She/Her

Whatever brings you here is a meaningful place to start. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, relationships, intimacy, identity, and belonging. Sometimes insight isn't enough to create change. In our work, curiosity and compassion can take the place of criticism, making room for new ways of understanding yourself and responding to what you're experiencing.

My style is warm, relational, and engaged, with room for difficult things as well as the humor, joy, and contradictions that make us human. As both a clinician and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I see affirming care as a baseline in my practice, not an added specialty.

My work is trauma-informed and grounded in attachment theory, drawing flexibly from ACT, DBT, IFS, mentalization-based, psychodynamic, and somatic approaches. Before joining P.S. Therapy, I spent more than a decade in behavioral health, most recently as a Clinical Supervisor in a New York State OASAS-certified residential treatment program.

I hold master's degrees in Mental Health Counseling and Education from Columbia University and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Diagnostic Privilege in New York.
