The Vision Behind LifeWell Psychotherapy


I’m Jerrica, the heart and soul behind LifeWell, a psychotherapy practice established in November 2024 to address the unique mental health needs of the BIPOC community while welcoming individuals from all backgrounds. BIPOC, which stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, represents groups that have historically faced systemic challenges and underrepresentation in mental health care. As a BIPOC woman and licensed therapist, I founded LifeWell to ensure diverse representation in therapy and to acknowledge the cultural nuances and experiences that often go overlooked. My own journey through identity, life transitions, and parenting has deeply influenced my practice and equipped me with insight into the unique challenges women face at different life stages.

With specialized training in EMDR and Brainspotting, and certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy – Certified (DBT-C), I offer evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual. My mission is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can heal from trauma, break generational cycles, and build a path toward mental wellness. At LifeWell, I aim to empower everyone to move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
