01 · Who Jesus works with

Jesus works with relationship issues, trauma and abuse and depression

Jesus lists 7 specialisms and 23 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Jesus chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Jesus's own words

What Jesus says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of professional experience in New York, I specialize in using ego psychology to help clients navigate complex psychological challenges. My clinical work focuses on addressing logical fallacies and maladaptive coping mechanisms, particularly within the context of the complexities of modern life. I employ evidence-based interventions to facilitate clients' understanding of their internal thought processes and how these can impact their behavior and emotional well-being.

My approach is integrative, drawing on various therapeutic modalities while emphasizing the development of clients' ego functions to enhance their adaptive capacity. Through targeted conversations and interventions, I assist clients in identifying and restructuring irrational beliefs and maladaptive coping strategies. My experience includes roles such as Program Coordinator at Mount Sinai Morningside and Associate Program Director at the Institute for Family Health, where I have been involved in program development, clinical supervision, and implementing quality improvement initiatives. This background allows me to create a supportive therapeutic environment, fostering clients' strengths and resilience as they work toward healthier, more adaptive ways of functioning.

03 · How Jesus works

The 1 approach Jesus lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Jesus lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Jesus's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Jesus runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Jesus practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jesus's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jesus at this point.

2. Naming Jesus specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jesus is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jesus.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

4 questions worth asking Jesus

Built from what Jesus actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Jesus's - Jesus has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “With 17 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

Where every line on this page came from

Jesus's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Jesus. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
