Jessica Magenheimer

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I specialize in treating Highly Sensitive People, recovering perfectionists & people-pleasers. Online therapy in CA, OR, AK, NV, OH, VA, VT, FL & DE.”

About Me

If you are a Highly Sensitive Person, or find yourself constantly striving for perfection and pleasing others, you might feel exhausted. I offer a supportive space to gently explore these deep-seated patterns. We can work together to uncover your unique strengths and release the burden of over-responsibility. My aim is to help you cultivate self-compassion and find balance. Convenient online sessions make this support accessible across California, Nevada, Oregon, Ohio, Delaware, Virginia, Florida, Vermont and Alaska, for those ready to prioritise their well-being.

Approach

When you arrive feeling drained from pleasing others and chasing perfection, I focus on slowing our pace so we can notice what your body and thoughts are telling you. I offer online sessions in English with reliable structure—short check-ins, a focused practice during the hour, and simple tools to try between meetings. Work usually moves between sensing, small experiments, and coaching-style reflection so you leave with usable change and a bit more ease. This way of working often suits people who are easily overwhelmed by expectations.
