Hi, my name is Jessyca Nellé
I'm the founder and lead therapist here. With a deep passion for nurturing emotional well-being and fostering growth, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting children, adolescents, and families through their unique journeys.
My path into therapy was inspired by a genuine commitment to helping young people and families navigate life's challenges and find their path to resilience and joy. With 15 years of experience in child and adolescent therapy, as well as family counseling, I’ve had the honor of working with diverse clients, each with their own stories and strengths.
At Roots to Rising, we believe that every individual and family has the potential to overcome obstacles and thrive. My approach is centered on creating a safe, supportive, and empathetic environment where clients feel heard and understood. I utilize a variety of evidence-based techniques and therapeutic modalities tailored to the specific needs of children, teens, and families. My goal is to empower clients with the tools and insights they need to foster healthy relationships, emotional resilience, and personal growth.
