Jessica Rothery, ASW

Jessica Rothery, ASW is passionate about supporting individuals of all ages—from teens to older adults—on their journey to well-being. Her diverse experience as an individual, group, and family therapist allows her to connect with clients facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, neurodivergence, gender identity, and relapse prevention. Jessica also brings specialized expertise in working with caregivers, veterans, and people living with dementia, offering compassionate support for grief, reminiscence therapy, and end-of-life transitions.
Jessica believes therapy should be a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and empowered. She takes a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. Jessica is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), blending these techniques with creative modalities like mindfulness, improvisational exercises, and art/music therapy to help you discover new pathways to healing.
With a Master’s in Social Work from San Diego State University and an undergraduate degree in Molecular Environmental Biology, Jessica’s background is as unique as her approach. Her experience as a museum data scientist, caregiver, and full-spectrum doula enriches her perspective and deepens her commitment to helping clients feel supported and encouraged.
Outside of work, Jessica enjoys rollerblading, fishing, hiking in Mt. Laguna, and chasing wildflowers in the desert—activities that reflect her love of nature and adventure. Jessica is currently pursuing licensure in California (ASW 120439) and is under the direct supervision of Licensed Clinical Social Worker Patricia O’Brien (LCSW 75267).
