About JESSICA MAGRATH, LGPC

You don’t have to carry this all on your own.

You remember a time when feeling peaceful, confident, and in control wasn't a struggle… but those days feel distant. Don't you wish you had the tools to reclaim that sense of well-being?

You've come to the right place.

I'm Jessica Magrath, and I help people like you: survivors who have the strength to heal from their past, but just need the support to get there. I'm here to support you on that journey.

I help my clients discover peace, confidence, and empowerment by equipping them with the tools they need to understand themselves and process past experiences.

Many of today’s solutions for trauma can require many months or even years of talking about the pain we’re trying to avoid, leading so many to feel re-traumatized and desperate for hope.

Through EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), relief and healing can occur more quickly, and talking about the painful past is minimized.

I know that your circumstances are unique, so I customize my approach to your specific needs and goals. We'll work together to find the most effective strategies for you.

How I work

I am dedicated to helping people heal from past experiences and build healthy relationships.

My training in trauma therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) means I have the expertise you need and deserve when healing your relationships and reclaiming your sense of peace.

But at the end of the day, you want to know you're working with someone who "gets" what it means to be a trauma survivor struggling with overwhelming emotions, right?

I get it. I’ve been there. I've dedicated my life to healing from my own painful experiences, and now I help others heal their painful past and find the freedom and peace they deserve. I know that sometimes you just want to give up on healing, feeling lost and unsure of the path forward.

So when we work together, you won't just get a trained therapist. You'll get someone who truly understands the challenges you face and is dedicated to guiding you towards a brighter future.
