About Me
Hi there! Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet. I’m glad you’re here :)
I’m Jessica (Jess) Dorzek and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of experience working with adolescents, adults, groups and families in a variety of settings.
Back in 2021, I took a leap and established my own private practice, fueled by my personal journey of self-discovery and growth. As a self-identified recovering perfectionist and chronic over-thinker, I have spent years learning tools to quiet my inner critic and live a life full of joy. Like many others, I had the knowledge of where I wanted to go, but I lacked the skills to get there. It is my belief that with the right strategies and support, you can live the life you imagine - complete with growth, healing, and a renewed sense of self.
When I’m not working, you can find me reading (fiction), eating tacos or at a hockey rink!

I specialize in individual therapy and group sessions, helping you navigate the ups and downs of life. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings with openness and curiosity. With a dash of humor and a whole lot of empathy, I prioritize our relationship above all else. I intentionally maintain a limited caseload to ensure that each client receives the utmost care and attention throughout our work together. Whether you're feeling stuck, stressed, or simply seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Using knowledge from my training in behavioral therapies and the nervous system, I'll help you connect to your mind and body, recognize emotions and physical sensations, and learn techniques to change behaviors and build healthier habits. I mix scientific knowledge with practical know-how to move beyond talk and put strategies into action!
Oh, and the best part? You can enjoy all of this from the comfort of your own home because I conduct all sessions via telehealth. Yes, you heard that right - therapy sessions in your comfiest clothes!
My Philosophy:
