Hello, I'm Jerisel Jimenez, a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in a psychoanalytic approach, with a focus on trauma work. In my extensive career, I have dedicated myself to helping individuals navigate life's complexities, particularly those grappling with trauma. My private practice in the heart of New York City serves as a sanctuary for transformative growth, fostering a warm and empathetic environment for healing and empowerment.

My intention is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming therapeutic space. We will identify your strengths and explore strategies that can facilitate the effective changes that you are seeking. We will discuss ways for you to engage in self-acceptance and self-compassion. Consider me a collaborator as well as your therapist. We will work together to identify and develop insightful and practical tools that can help you reach your goals.

I am the founder of The Center for Intimacy Recovery which focuses primarily on intimacy and relationships. What I have found is that without a sense of intimacy with oneself, people can’t fully experience intimacy with someone else. Our hearts are fragile, so we develop strategies to keep them safe and avoid getting hurt. Often, these strategies later become maladaptive and hold us back from achieving the connection and intimacy we are actually seeking. The Center for Intimacy Recovery helps clients to find ways to have the intimacy and connection in life that they are seeking. To gain a better understanding around healthy sexuality and treatment for compulsive and destructive sexual behaviors and the trauma created through intimate betrayal, have studied at the Modern Sex Therapy Institute where I have studied healthy sexuality. I have also studied with the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals where I became a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.

As a psychodynamic, trauma-informed therapist and psychoanalyst, I offer a space to explore relationships and the roles one plays in them, honoring strengths and uncovering the meanings that underlie challenging areas. Goals would include connecting thoughts and emotions, to enhance insight into how one moves through one's life and to increase healthier coping skills to stressors. I value diversity including but not limited to race, religion, sexuality, gender, and culture, working to understand how these aspects of identity influence a person’s experience of themselves, to provide an environment that fosters continuous growth in all areas of being.

I specialize in the treatment of unresolved emotional injuries from childhood, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety and grief using Somatic Psychotherapy.
