Dr. Jacqueline Purrinos, Psy.D.

Welcome!
Congratulations on taking the first step towards positive change and prioritizing yourself! I’m so glad you’re here and can’t wait to walk beside you on your journey towards healing and creating the life you’ve been wanting for yourself. I want to get to know you and understand the circumstances that led you to therapy. I work with individuals and couples of all ages and treat anxiety, depression, issues related to life transitions, relationship concerns, student-specific issues, body image and eating issues, chronic pain, pregnancy and postpartum care, infertility, and parenting concerns. We will work together in a collaborative way to talk through your strengths and struggles, heal open wounds by connecting your past experiences to the present, change negative thinking patterns, increase your self-esteem and confidence, and develop healthy coping skills to improve your day-to-day life. Hope is a key element in my approach. I want you to hold onto hope that you can heal and grow. I am here to help you cross the bridge from where you are now to where you want to be.
What sets me apart from other therapists? I consider the whole person, not just your set of symptoms. Everyone experiences things in their own unique ways and responses to stressors can be so different. Your symptoms don’t define you. You know yourself and your story the best. That’s where I come in…I will serve as a mirror to reflect those things about yourself that you may not have realized if we had not looked together, and I will do so in a way that is free of any judgment. Our therapeutic relationship will be the foundation that will promote the positive change you are looking for. My calm and personable nature will make you feel at ease from the moment we first meet. My goal is to make you feel heard and understood with the confident, compassionate approach I bring to the therapeutic space. I strive to create a safe and trusting environment that you will feel comfortable in. You’ll feel like you’re catching up with an old friend.
