Hi there, I'm Jessica Bloome, a dedicated Professional Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LPCC) nestled in the vibrant community of Albuquerque, NM. With the power of telehealth, I extend my services statewide, breaking down barriers to provide support wherever my clients may reside. My focus lies in empowering adults to navigate life's complexities with resilience and grace. Specializing in stress management, I employ a holistic approach that merges evidence-based techniques with compassion and understanding. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to fostering growth and healing through a strength-based lens. Drawing from Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), I guide my clients on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. By embracing somatic awareness and creative expressive modalities, I aim to unlock the innate wisdom within each individual, facilitating their journey toward wholeness. My mission is simple yet profound: to support my clients in reclaiming their joy, finding peace amidst chaos, and stepping boldly into the fullness of their lives. Together, let's embark on a path of healing and self-discovery.
My approach
I most frequently utilize Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), I also embrace more traditional talk therapy methods. By seamlessly weaving together these approaches, I create a collaborative space where client and therapist work hand in hand to uncover insights and navigate challenges.
My focus
My therapeutic style resonates deeply with motivated adults navigating life's transitions. I specialize in supporting individuals who identify as creative, sensitive (HSPs), high-achieving, and neurodivergent, guiding them through the challenges of self-doubt, self-sabotage, anxiety, depression, and stress.
My communication style
My communication style is informal, present, compassionate, non-judgmental, and curious. I want my clients to feel comfortable and confident talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to connect with individuals of diverse personality styles.
My journey to mental healthcare
"I share the wisdom of Pema Chodron, who beautifully articulates my philosophy as a helping professional: 'Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.' This sentiment resonates deeply with me, as it encapsulates my journey as a therapist. Having been in the trenches and navigated my own challenges, I understand firsthand the transformative power of compassion and support. Inspired by the remarkable individuals who have aided me along my path, I am driven to pay forward the gift of healing to others.
My goals for you
In my practice, goal-setting is a collaborative process from the start. It begins with cultivating trust and establishing a comfortable foundation for our therapeutic journey together. As we explore what it means to be in therapy and build rapport, we gradually embark on setting and refining goals tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. Throughout our work together, I provide support and guidance as we track your progress, celebrating milestones along the way.
My first session with you
During our initial session together, our focus is on establishing a strong connection and understanding your current experiences. I allocate ample time for you to express how you've been feeling recently, while I listen attentively and ask thoughtful questions to gain deeper insights into your unique journey. Recognizing that every individual is different, I refrain from making assumptions and prioritize active listening to tailor our therapeutic approach to your specific needs.
