meet Jalyse

Hi, I'm jalyse stewart

an associate Marriage and Family Therapist.

I’m here to support your healing journey with warmth, presence, and care. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, with a focus on sexual trauma. I offer online therapy for women navigating the complex and lasting effects of childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, and complex PTSD. My work is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a deep belief in each person’s capacity to heal and grow.

A safe, culturally responsive space

As a Black woman and a therapist, I understand the importance of feeling seen and affirmed. I work with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and LGBTQ+ individuals who are often seeking culturally responsive, inclusive care. My therapy space is one where all identities are welcomed, honored, and supported—with a strong foundation of empathy and respect.

my approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, gentle, and empowering. I draw from a blend of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic practices. Depending on your needs, I may also integrate solution-focused therapy and couples counseling grounded in family systems work. I work best with those who are ready to explore both the "why" behind their experiences and the "how" of moving forward with intention and self-trust.

Areas I support

Most of my clients are navigating some combination of trauma, anxiety, shame, or emotional disconnection. I also frequently support those dealing with ADHD, codependency, childhood trauma, or the lingering effects of sexual harassment and assault. I welcome individuals and couples alike, especially those looking for a space to process complex experiences with care and clarity.

Let’s reclaim your voice and power

Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about healing old wounds, rebuilding trust in yourself, and stepping into the life you want to live. If you’re looking for someone who truly sees you and will walk alongside you with empathy and skill, I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
