Jessica Stern

Jessica Stern is a New Hampshire psychologist with three decades of experience helping people manage worry and sudden anxiety symptoms. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions direct and understandable. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she keeps goals in view so progress is clear and measurable.

She combines practical tools with attention to life history. That means using strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors alongside conversations that look at relationship patterns and early influences. She also uses mindfulness practices and trauma-focused methods when those fit a person’s needs. Jessica has worked with people facing depression, grief, stress, and panic disorder and panic attacks, among other concerns.

Jessica’s work is collaborative. She helps each person set clear goals and chooses methods to match those goals. Sessions often include skill-building, problem-solving, and reflection on difficult moments from the past to reduce their impact today.

Her background includes long experience with multicultural and bilingual clients, and she has supported people coping with illness, immigration challenges, adoption and foster care histories, and attachment-related struggles. Jessica brings a practical, compassionate approach and a sense of humor to make difficult conversations easier.

People who contact her can expect straightforward feedback, tools they can try between sessions, and a plan that focuses on concrete change. She asks clients to work together on goals and to reassess progress as therapy continues.
