All About Jessi

Jessi Mitchell is a trauma-informed and trauma resolution therapist who specializes in healing childhood wounds, grief & loss, somatic therapy, and reconnecting with spirituality. Her work is deeply compassionate, body-centered, and intuitive, helping clients process complex trauma, emotional pain, and spiritual disconnection in a safe, nurturing space.

As a queer-identifying therapist, Jessi is passionate about creating an affirming and inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ individuals. She understands the unique challenges of identity, belonging, and self-acceptance, offering a therapeutic environment where clients can explore and heal without fear of judgment. With a background in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed yoga, and somatic therapy, Jessi supports individuals who feel stuck in cycles of grief, dissociation, or unresolved trauma. Whether you are healing from childhood abuse, navigating a spiritual crisis, or struggling with PTSD, she helps you reconnect with yourself—mind, body, and soul.

Her approach integrates yoga therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused modalities to guide clients toward deeper healing and self-acceptance. She provides a gentle, validating, and grounding presence, ensuring clients feel safe and supported as they process their experiences.

Who She Works With

Jessi specializes in therapy for:


✔️ Survivors of childhood trauma healing from emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
✔️ Individuals navigating grief & loss, seeking a space to honor and process deep emotions.
✔️ LGBTQIA+ individuals exploring identity, relationships, and self-acceptance.
✔️ People struggling with eating disorders & body image concerns, using a trauma-informed, HAES-aligned approach.
✔️ Highly sensitive people & spiritual seekers who feel disconnected and long to reconnect with their inner world.

She believes in healing as a journey of self-reclamation, helping clients process their pain while fostering resilience, self-trust, and inner peace.

Integrating Body & Mind Through Trauma-Informed Yoga

Jessi understands that trauma isn’t just stored in the mind—it lives in the body. As a trauma-informed yoga therapist, she integrates somatic practices, mindfulness, and movement-based healing to help clients reconnect with their physical selves. Whether you’re processing grief, working through PTSD, or healing from childhood trauma, yoga-based interventions can provide a powerful way to release stored emotions and cultivate safety within your body.

  • Grief, trauma, and disconnection from self can feel overwhelming. Jessi’s therapeutic approach is collaborative and holistic, focusing on the mind-body connection and integrating multiple healing modalities:

    • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – A powerful trauma resolution tool that helps process and reframe painful memories.

    • Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Supports healing inner wounds by working with the younger parts of yourself that carry pain, fear, or shame.

    • Somatic Therapy – Encourages emotional processing through body awareness, helping release trauma stored in the nervous system.

    • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Provides tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and self-compassion.

    • Trauma-Informed Yoga & Mindfulness – Integrates breathwork and movement to regulate emotions, reconnect with the body, and promote grounding.

    Jessi tailors her approach to honor your unique experiences and needs, walking alongside you as you navigate your healing journey.
