Licensed Psychologist, Founder & Director
Jessica January Behr, Psy.D.
Dr. Behr helps people take an honest look at their lives — gently guiding growth while creating a space that feels warm, safe, and genuinely their own.
What makes therapy work
“Change in therapy occurs through a relationship that is safe enough for people to encounter themselves honestly, and where curiosity, reflection, and emotional experience make unconscious patterns visible and create the freedom to relate to oneself and others differently.”
