Jesca Wales

Meet Jesca

Hi there! I'm Jesca. I work with individuals and couples who are tired of holding everything together on the outside while quietly unraveling inside. Many of my clients arrive feeling emotionally drained, stuck in survival mode, and unsure how to reconnect with themselves or others after carrying the weight of shame, high expectations, or emotional wounds for far too long.

My clinical experience includes working with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, spiritual wounding, and relationship challenges. I’m especially passionate about supporting those who have learned to silence their needs or disconnect from their own voice in order to keep the peace or meet others’ expectations. Whether you're processing the pain of religious harm, wrestling with your sense of self, or struggling to feel safe in your body or relationships, you deserve a space to come home to yourself—gently, honestly, and without judgment.

I offer both virtual and in-person therapy in Phoenix, AZ. 

My Approach

In therapy, I create a warm, compassionate space where you can slow down and reconnect with your inner world. I use trauma-informed, attachment-based, and integrative approaches including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also support couples as a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator, helping partners build emotional safety, navigate conflict, and deepen connection.

For clients who desire it, I offer spiritually-integrated therapy—exploring how faith can be a source of grounding and restoration, especially when it’s also been a source of pain. If spirituality isn’t part of your journey, you’ll still be met with deep respect, safety, and care. 

I see therapy as a collaborative process—where your lived experience and wisdom are deeply valued. My goal is to walk alongside you with curiosity and compassion as we work together to move toward healing, authenticity, and a deeper sense of wholeness. Everyone is welcome here.
