Meet Jess

My name is Jessica Pretak and I am a licensed clinical social worker working in Connecticut providing individual and family therapy with children, teenagers, young adults, and adults. I aim to bear witness to my clients journeys as they look to heal, repair, and grow within their relationship with themselves and others. I sit with those who look to uncover the root causes of life experiences and complex relationships which have led to anxiety, depression, trauma, and shame.

I also aim to create a brave and safe container. I cultivate a positive relationship to promote a sense of safety and security and strive to not just hold a safe space but to be a safe space. I hope to awaken awareness to conscious and unconscious thought, feeling, and behavior patterns to foster healing from old patterns that are no longer in service towards the self.
