A rescue from North Carolina, Mako is spoiled and knows it. Her favorite thing is to snuggle in bed and give kisses. She loves to husky-talk and demand neck scratches.

I work with my clients through a feminist and queer theory and therapy lens, while also integrating principles of ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) and IFS (internal family systems) throughout our therapeutic relationship. For me, this means that I look at the collective picture of an individual, the pieces and whole picture. I have come to realize that for many, we are creatures of habit. I believe that this often extends to the patterns we display and live out in the multiple relationships in our lives; friends, family, colleagues, partners, classmates, and all those we include in our circle. Although you may begin therapy with me seeking help for a specific concern, anxiety for example, it is important to explore all aspects of who you are. I will help you recognize relational patterns and dynamics and work to shift, reframe, heal, and repair unhelpful patterns so you can learn to implement new strategies and approaches in all your relationships, allowing you to feel more well-rounded and congruent with your authentic self. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6292b76c82c56734c1a203b0/1653929106587-W4H493D5YMDYGOX9OPY2/unsplash-image-Nv-vx3kUR2A.jpg About - You are the focus. I work with women who are smart, driven, and deeply accomplished. The kind of women who are used to pushing boundaries and breaking barriers—CEOs, doctors, nurses, lawyers, PhDs, entrepreneurs, executives, and other high performers in demanding careers. Many of my clients are in roles that weren’t originally designed with women in mind, and yet they’ve made space for themselves and risen to the top. From the outside, they’re seen as successful, put-together, and maybe even unstoppable. But on the inside, it can feel very different. They’re often carrying the weight of perfectionism, self-doubt, burnout, anxiety, or the constant pressure to prove themselves. They’ve worked incredibly hard to get where they are, and yet it can feel lonely, exhausting, or like something’s missing. In therapy, we make room for you—not just the part of you who gets things done, but the part that’s tired of always having to hold it all together. This is a space where you don’t have to perform, where you can say the quiet parts out loud, and where we can work together to create more ease, clarity, and connection in your life. https://www.drjessiesmith.com/therapy daily 0.75 2026-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6292b76c82c56734c1a203b0/1653929589445-6D2VS2P7EMJGR54JN8FC/unsplash-image-PYh4QCX_fmE.jpg Therapy Services - “When we can see ourselves as we truly are and accept ourselves, we build the necessary foundation for self-love…whether we learn how to love ourselves and others will depend on the presence of a loving environment.

There is no shortage of children. Wouldn’t it be better to let people who want children have them, and leave everyone else alone?” ― Alice Minium
