Jack Disselhorst

As a therapist, I operate with an unwavering compassionate acceptance for my clients. I am a firm believer that change is always possible, and that with the proper support we are capable of enacting that change to realize the life we want for ourselves.

 

As a beneficiary of therapy myself, I understand the healing power of being deeply understood, never judged, and fiercely supported. I seek to understand my client's unique struggles, always bearing in mind that oppressive and exploitative systems contribute to our struggles as much as our personal histories. I also seek to know, cultivate, and empower my client's strengths, resiliency, and passions.

 

For the past 3 years I have worked in mental health crisis work, after discovering my strength and passion for being with people during their times of intense hurt and need. During this time I have cultivated a blended, adaptive technique that includes Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Relational, Experiential, and Family-Systems therapies. My experience includes work with LGBTQIA+ communities, depression, anxiety, complex trauma including intimate partner violence and familial abuse, Autism spectrum, Borderline Personality Disorder, bipolar disorder, sex and intimacy, and homelessness. I hope to partner with you in order to move through pain and fear, toward contentment, fulfillment, and joy.
