Training and Education

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from NYU Silver School of Social Work and am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New York. I also completed a Trauma-Informed Child and Adolescent Certificate Program from the National Institute for the Psychotherapies. For five years, I worked as an oncology social worker at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where I provided support to individuals, caregivers, and families navigating blood cancers. I also had the privilege of supporting healthcare professionals in their difficult and meaningful work. My special interest in communicating with children about cancer and end-of-life issues allowed me to develop tailored approaches to meet my patient’s unique needs. In my practice, I integrate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, and polyvagal theory to create a holistic and supportive therapeutic experience. I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development to enhance my skills and better serve my clients.

What our clients say about us

“ I’ve been working with Jessica for nearly a year and am very grateful for our sessions, especially with the pandemic. She is a great listener and very down to earth. She remembers a lot of small details about my life and has connected many dots for me.”

- Verified Patient

“One of the most thoughtful and professional therapists that I've gone to. She listens carefully and patiently to what you have in mind without presuming anything about your problems and who you are; something that has really annoyed me in my previous experiences with therapists in general.”

- Verified Patient

“Dr. Behr is the absolute best. Brilliant and responsive, her knowledge base and ability to point out things you can't see through the things you say and the way you say them is phenomenal. My time with her has been invaluable, especially during the pandemic.”

- Verified Patient

“Dr. Jess has helped me so much with my anxiety and worry. She helps me see different perspectives on my problems which really helps. She also is always willing to call me and talk to me in between sessions if I need anything or add me to twice a week when I needed it. I really recommend her if your struggling with anything. She will help you.”

- Verified Patient

“I have been rebirthed by the work I'm currently doing with Dr. Behr. She is gentle, kind, always reassuring with the right words or suggestions. She has been a phone call away during times of my distress, a "cheerleader" for my personal and professional development, and reassuring when I doubt myself. She is quick to remind me "you are doing the work, I’m just helping you find what you already have within yourself". But, without her guidance my journey would be a lot more daunting. I walked into her office broken, sad and jaded, today I am healing, hopeful and most importantly happy!!”
