Let's get acquainted!
Hello! Thank you for visiting Jessie's Whole-istic Care website. I'm Jessie and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who synthesizes experiential psychotherapy, ayurvedic heatlhcare and yogic therapies into my counseling approach. Together, these modalities form a complete system of holistic care and address the needs of your mind, body and soul. My goal is to help you achieve your greatest potential by creating a life that supports your highest aspirations.
My Background
My career and research are focused on the body, mind, and spirit connection. My concentration is in holistic mental health counseling, and I have expertise in ayurvedic medicine, yogic psychology, Hakomi, and somatic meditation practices. I bring these fields of study together to create a thorough understanding of how to find the way back to balance.
​
The clients who will benefit most from my services are those ready to commit to creating the life they have always wanted and are willing to make the changes to get it. If that speaks to you, know that my position is to be your support and guide through this process and that my approach is rooted in being lovingly attentive and non-judgmental.
Professional Bio
I am a licensed holistic mental health therapist located in Westerly, Rhode Island. I provide both counseling services and ayurvedic consulting and specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, body image issues and dysmorphia, and general life transitions. I also have expertise in substance use disorders, and welcome individuals who may be experiencing these difficulties at various stages.​​
​
I am a NAMA Certified Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner (CAAP), a level 2 Hakomi practitioner, a certified MBSR teaher and a certified yoga therapist. I opened my first business on the west coast in 2003 after earning my CAAP. It was in 2003 that I began working one on one with clients, teaching workshops and formulating my line of herbal products. In 2008, I changed my business name to Community Ayurvedic Herbalist and opened my first office space in Pawcatuck, CT in 2012. Today, my office houses Community Ayurvedic Herbalist (CAH) and Jessie's Whole-istic Care (JWC). CAH is now a family run business in which we offer our herbal product line and DYI classes to the community. Please visit www.CommunityAyurvedicHerbalist.com to learn more. JWC is my counseling services and holistic lifestyle workshops.
In my counseling practice, I craft unique treatment plans for clients based on an integrative perspective. I consider what a client's goals are in seeking counseling; how they can make changes in their daily living routine to reduce or alleviate both mental and physical imbalances; how they can reach optimal wellness in the mind and body; and ways they can create mental and physical resiliency via coping skills and self-care therapies.
​
My practice is physically located in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. I offer clients in person and virtual sessions. I look forward to meeting you!

Thank you for creating the safe, nurturing space for all this to occur. You allowed me the chance to speak some truths that I needed to acknowledge about myself. I think even the act of sharing so openly with you generated some well needed releases within myself, that have deepened my inner growth.
Much love and gratitude,
