Jessica Furtado - OCD, Anxiety, and Depression

About Jessica

Does your brain treat 3 a.m. like prime time for worst-case scenarios? Have you been feeling “fine” or “okay” for so long that the words have almost lost their meaning? Maybe you're mentally exhausted, overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, or simply feeling like you're running on empty. If that sounds familiar, you don't have to navigate it alone.

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), providing support under clinical supervision. My areas of clinical interest include supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism spectrum disorder, emotional regulation difficulties, chronic stress, and burnout. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, mostly because I don't think it actually fits anyone. Some people want practical tools, homework, and a plan. Some want space to talk and feel heard without someone immediately trying to fix everything. Some people need a different pace or a different lens entirely.

My goal is to meet you where you are and work collaboratively to find an approach that feels right for you. I'll be honest, I'll gently challenge patterns that may not be serving you, and I'll probably crack a joke at some point, because taking things seriously and taking yourself too seriously aren't the same thing. Therapy doesn't have to feel intimidating or overly clinical. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
