Licensed EMDR Therapist Serving New York City

Jessica Esposito, LCSW, trauma and grief therapist in NYC

Who I Am

I’m here to help you feel less alone, and more like yourself.

I’m Jessica Esposito, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR-Certified therapist supporting people through some of life’s most painful moments.I specialize in grief, trauma, anxiety, and attachment — the kinds of pain that don’t just go away on their own, and that require more than just “talking about it.” My approach combines evidence-based methods like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and ego state work with a genuinely warm, human connection that my clients tell me makes all the difference.
  • Warm and supportive.
  • Evidence-based care tailored specifically to you.

My Vision

I envision a world where everyone has the tools and support to live their best life.

At Aligned Mind Therapy, I believe that every person deserves access to compassionate, skilled support and that the right therapeutic relationship can be genuinely life-changing. My work is grounded in science, led by empathy, and rooted in the belief that change is always possible.

Why Work with me

Why I Specialize in Trauma, Grief, and Attachment

The people I work with are often carrying experiences they’ve never fully been able to put into words — losses that shook them to their core, childhoods that left them questioning their worth, or anxieties that have quietly run their lives for years.I chose to specialize in these areas because they matter deeply to me — and because I’ve seen firsthand how transformative the right support can be. EMDR therapy, in particular, has allowed my clients to process experiences that had felt completely stuck for years, often in far less time than traditional talk therapy alone.I see clients in person at my Upper East Side, NYC office and virtually across New York and Connecticut.

What I offer

You deserve to feel better than “just okay.”

Trauma Therapy

Traumatic experiences leave their mark in ways that words alone can’t always reach. Using EMDR, inner child work, and evidence-based modalities, I process what’s been stored in your nervous system.

Grief & Loss Therapy

Losing someone you love, especially suddenly or violently, can leave you feeling frozen, numb, and completely alone. This is a safe space to honor your loss, process the pain, and find a path forward at your own pace.

Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety is exhausting mentally, emotionally, and physically. Together we’ll calm your nervous system, identify what’s driving the worry, and build real tools to help you feel grounded and in control again.

Relationship & Attachment

Childhood experiences shape the way we connect with others. If you’re caught in cycles of fear, distance, or conflict in your relationships, I’ll explore the roots and build the secure foundation you’ve always deserved.

CBT Therapy

CBT helps you identify, challenge, and reframe the negative beliefs that drive anxiety, low self-worth, and emotional distress. It’s structured, evidence-based, and effective — with real tools you can use outside the therapy room.
