Jessica Pena Pardo, LCSW
About Me
I believe lasting healing is possible, even when difficult experiences have shaped the way you see yourself, others, or the world. As an EMDR Certified Therapist, I help adults work through complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and other patterns that leave them feeling stuck.
My approach is supportive, direct, and collaborative. I integrate EMDR with parts work and other evidence-based approaches to help clients process unresolved experiences, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is not to keep you in therapy forever, but to help you build the tools and resilience to move forward with confidence.
Education & Experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of clinical experience providing psychotherapy to adults in both community mental health and private practice settings. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and have completed advanced training in complex trauma, parts work, polyvagal-informed therapy, and advanced EMDR interventions. I also have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I integrate as needed to meet each client's unique goals.
