Testimonials
Some of my close colleagues have shared thoughtful testimonials, and I hope their reflections help potential clients to get a sense of me and how I approach my work.
“Jess is an exceptionally gifted clinician. Her approach to therapy combines extensive training in treatments for trauma, grief, anxiety, and OCD with genuine warmth, curiosity, and passion for supporting clients through difficult life transitions, especially reproductive health concerns. I am always so eager to refer to her, knowing that a client will receive the most effective treatment for their concerns, and be deeply cared for and seen.”
“Dr. Coleman is a remarkably warm, genuine, and compassionate clinical psychologist with exceptional expertise in evidence-based, trauma-informed care for adults navigating reproductive and perinatal mental health concerns. Dr. Coleman is the psychologist I would want my own loved ones to see, and she is consistently my first recommendation for individuals seeking high-quality therapy services. She creates a safe, supportive, and attuned space for clients to feel deeply understood, respected, and empowered.
Beyond her outstanding clinical work, Dr. Coleman brings a strong research background and substantial expertise in healthcare quality improvement. Any medical clinic or healthcare system seeking to strengthen trauma-informed practices or rigorously evaluate programs would greatly benefit from consultation with her.”
“I had the privilege and pleasure of mentoring Dr. Jess Coleman during her residency, and can say that she is an exceptionally skilled psychologist. She has particular expertise working with individuals during pregnancy and the postpartum period, especially those experiencing OCD, trauma, anxiety, and grief.
Dr. Coleman is warm, nonjudgmental, and brings a lovely sense of humor into her work, which allows a sense of ease even when addressing very difficult concerns. She also integrates strong multicultural sensitivity and a thoughtful awareness of intersecting identities, integrating these factors seamlessly into her clinical work. She is highly adept at using evidence-based therapies and does so with nuance, precision, and compassion.
She has my strongest recommendation - I trust her wholeheartedly as a clinician, researcher, educator, and consultant. ”
“I can’t recommend her highly enough. I am a clinical psychologist and Jess has been a colleague of mine since 2017. We’ve worked closely together on complex cases and it’s been a pleasure to watch Jess support folks as they navigate life after trauma and other difficulties. Jess has a warm, loving approach that makes people feel safe, while also using her sharp clinical skills to apply evidence-based principles in an approachable way. I would trust her with one of my loved ones in a heartbeat. ”
“Jess is an incredibly talented clinician and an all-around wonderful human. I highly recommend referring to her for those seeking care during the perinatal period.”
“If you or someone you love is looking for a compassionate, highly skilled therapist, I wholeheartedly recommend Jess Coleman.
I’ve known Jess for nearly a decade – first as a colleague and then as a friend. I’ve witnessed her intelligence, rigor, and professional competence up close. More importantly, I’ve also experienced firsthand her compassion, tenderness, and thoughtfulness. Being her friend has been healing in ways I know translate directly to her work as a therapist.
There is such a deep need for care in the areas Jess serves, and I truly cannot imagine a more trustworthy or capable person to hold this work. Jess has built her practice with such intentionality, inclusiveness, and care for access. ”
“I met Dr. Jess Coleman during our doctoral training, where we worked together in both clinical and research settings. She is a deep thinker who approaches her work with great care, curiosity, and integrity, and she is also highly empathetic and genuinely compassionate.
Jess has a way of helping people feel understood and respected, while also grounding her work in strong clinical knowledge and evidence-based practice. I would confidently recommend her to friends, family members, or colleagues looking for a therapist who is thoughtful, caring, and deeply committed to supporting people from many different backgrounds.”
“As a pelvic health physical therapist, I am keenly aware of how important holistic support is when navigating life changes around pregnancy. Dr. Jess Coleman approaches care and interprofessional collaboration with great compassion and curiosity.
She manages to keep the care centered on the person while gently facilitating reflection and growth. Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr. Jess not only to my patients, but also to my loved ones.”
“I am a rheumatologist who specializes in reproductive health, including pregnancy and breastfeeding. I have worked closely with Dr. Coleman to develop ways to better support patients with chronic conditions who also have a history of physical, emotional, and/or sexual trauma.
Dr. Coleman is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and deeply cares about providing the highest quality of care for patients. She is a safe space to guide patients through the entire journey of pregnancy (before, during, and after). She recognizes the need to support patients while they are addressing their reproductive goals.
I would highly recommend Dr. Coleman for consultation in medical practices and research initiatives, as well as for direct patient care.”
