About Jessenia Winstanley, PsyD

Hi, I’m Dr. Jessenia Winstanley. I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in the treatment of OCD and anxiety. I have extensive training and experience in science-based approaches because I am committed to providing evidence-basedtreatment that has been tested through rigorous scientific studies and shown to work!

I am passionate about helping people improve their quality of life. I provide therapy for those experiencing stress, excessive worry, and debilitating anxiety. I can work with you to identify what is getting in the way of living the life you want.

My goal is to help you stop dwelling on negative thoughts and start helping you get back to living life. What makes me different is that I listen carefully and help you understand the problems and patterns that keep you stuck. While we may not always be able to control situations that lead to stress, I can show you how we can control our reactions to these stressful circumstances by understanding the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I can equip you with the right tools and confidence to create a more meaningful life.

Helping People Gives My Life Meaning

I’m no different from the clients I see. Like everyone else, I’m human. I’ve been through both wonderful and challenging experiences that have shaped who I am and how I help.

Being a psychologist is an honor. I love guiding people toward figuring stuff out and witnessing them achieve more fulfilling lives. The most rewarding thing about being a psychologist is seeing someone walk away lighter, more free, and more excited about their life. I am committed to helping you!
