EMDR, Trauma & Grief Therapist in NYC
Healing starts when you stop carrying it alone.
Compassionate EMDR and trauma therapy for grief, anxiety, and attachment wounds, so you can finally feel safe and grounded. Telehealth across NYC, with in-person sessions in the Upper East Side and Midtown.
About Me
There’s no shame in asking for the support you deserve.
You’ve been through something heavy, and you’ve been carrying it quietly for a long time. Whether you’re grieving someone you loved, living with the weight of past trauma, or stuck in relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I’m Jessica Esposito, an LCSW and certified EMDR therapist with over 6 years of experience helping NYC clients heal from the inside out. As an EMDR, trauma, and grief therapist, I use EMDR, inner child work, and attachment-focused therapy to reach what talk therapy alone often can’t. Sessions are available by telehealth throughout New York City and Connecticut, and in person on the Upper East Side and in Midtown.
My approach is warm, direct, and evidence-based, because you deserve both compassion and real results. Your first step is a free 15-minute consultation, with no pressure and no commitment.
What I offer
You deserve to feel better than “just okay.”
Trauma Therapy
Traumatic experiences leave their mark in ways that words alone can’t always reach. Using EMDR, inner child work, and evidence-based modalities, I process what’s been stored in your nervous system.
Grief & Loss Therapy
Losing someone you love, especially suddenly or violently, can leave you feeling frozen, numb, and completely alone. This is a safe space to honor your loss, process the pain, and find a path forward at your own pace.
Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety is exhausting mentally, emotionally, and physically. Together we’ll calm your nervous system, identify what’s driving the worry, and build real tools to help you feel grounded and in control again.
Relationship & Attachment
Childhood experiences shape the way we connect with others. If you’re caught in cycles of fear, distance, or conflict in your relationships, I’ll explore the roots and build the secure foundation you’ve always deserved.
CBT Therapy
CBT helps you identify, challenge, and reframe the negative beliefs that drive anxiety, low self-worth, and emotional distress. It’s structured, evidence-based, and effective — with real tools you can use outside the therapy room.
EMDR Therapy
Expert EMDR consultation for therapists who want to deepen their trauma practice, covering case conceptualization, clinical questions, and ongoing professional growth in evidence-based care.
My Values
Healing is built on honesty, safety, and showing up together.
Therapy isn’t about being fixed. It’s about being truly seen, supported, and guided back to yourself. At Aligned Mind Therapy, every session is rooted in trust, warmth, and evidence-based care tailored specifically to you.
My Vision
A world where every person has access to the compassionate, skilled support they need to heal from loss and trauma and build a life that feels whole.
My Mission
To provide trauma-informed, personalized therapy that empowers clients to process pain, break old patterns, and step into healthier, more fulfilling lives.
It’s possible to heal and move forward. You don’t have to do this alone.
