Jessie Laguerre (LMSW)
As a psychotherapist with a background in social work and school administration, I bring a unique perspective to supporting children, adolescents, and families. My experience as a school administrator has given me a deep understanding of how school systems operate—knowledge that allows me to help parents effectively navigate educational settings and advocate for children with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other forms of neurodivergence. I draw on evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed strategies to offer practical tools for both healing and growth. Whether working with children, families, couples, or parents, my goal is to create a collaborative partnership that fosters long-term, meaningful change.
