Jessica Faber, MA, LPATherapist/Licensed Psychological Associate
Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Jessica earned her BA in Psychology from Rice University. She received her Master of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Minnesota. To earn her license as an independent practitioner, she practiced 3000 hours of therapy and neuropsychological assessment under supervision between Upside Therapy and Evaluation Center and the Dallas Cognitive Wellness Center.
In terms of therapy, Jessica enjoys working with clients across the lifespan. Jessica’s style involves appreciating how early attachment, relational patterns, and diverse learning styles can influence the therapeutic process. Jessica has experience working with a wide range of concerns, including (but not limited to) selective mutism, generalized and social anxiety, learning differences, challenges related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum, gender identity and expression, depression, suicidal ideation, and trauma across all ages. She particularly thrives when working with neurodivergent individuals navigating their life challenges and empowering individuals to overcome their anxiety.
Jessica’s approach centers on creating a safe space for her clients at every age and stage of their therapy journey. She believes in nurturing a strong therapeutic alliance to empower her clients. In addition to curating an array of skill-building sessions to meet client needs, Jessica balances skills development with providing emotional processing and support. This combines a person-centered approach while simultaneously drawing from a variety of evidence-based practices to serve families across a diverse range of backgrounds. Such practices include cognitive-behavioral therapy (including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy), parent-child interaction therapy, and interpersonal therapy.
Regarding testing, Jessica is experienced in conducting psychological assessment across the lifespan for attentional difficulties and learning concerns, mood concerns, as well as autism spectrum evaluations for school-aged children, adolescents, and adults.
Earning her client’s trust and rewarding her client’s trust with consistent support plays a pivotal role in why Jessica is drawn to therapeutic work. She also appreciates the uniquely rewarding experience of lending her expertise to witness her clients manifest into stronger versions of themselves. She further loves feedback on how her clients are experiencing their therapeutic journey and collaborating with them to create the optimal experience. Unofficially, Jessica loves the candor and sense of humor her clients bring to the therapy experience.
Outside of sessions, Jessica enjoys spending time with her husband and their families, spoiling her cat (Penelope), and acrylic painting.
