History
Though offering therapeutic services for nearly 10 years in a variety of settings, including online counseling and coaching, Jessica Improta, LCSW recently established a location in Santa Monica with plans to expand to Downtown Los Angeles. My practice embraces all of the nuances of this unpredictable and often messy human journey and I seek to empower my clients through compassion, understanding, and a seeking of interdependence in order to blossom. Therapy is about discovery of what wellness means to you and how to get you there, rather than advice. Together we will walk the path on the road to your best self.
Specialties
Are you fed up with food? Stressed and depressed and caught in a vicious cycle of restriction, overeating and shame? Drowning in the traumas of the past? I help clients step off the diet/binge train and heal from emotional and binge eating and other eating disorders. I also specialize in treating trauma, including sexual trauma. I believe that tools of mindfulness, tuning into our body's wisdom, and addressing the emotional pain that lives in our bodies, not just our minds, is a key part of the healing process. It's easy to feel isolated in our pain - but you're not alone! Let's help you heal so you can live a life of freedom and fulfillment that you deserve.
