About My Clients
Jessica Adam is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist in Somerville, MA who works primarily with individuals in their 20s and 30s.
My Background and Approach
I pull from a narrative approach. This lens acknowledges each of us has innate resources, but these strengths may, at times, be discounted or overlooked in favor of dominant story lines that have taken precedent. I support individuals in facilitating conversations that help them see themselves as separate from the problems and obstacles they are up against, giving space for different narratives and possibilities. In other words, I am here to listen about what got you here and support you in going where you want to go. I support people in establishing and developing their sense of purpose in life, both in their professional and relational trajectory and their everyday actions. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which provides clients an avenue of fostering acceptance of difficult situations and helps in learning to tolerate distress.
