Hi, I’m Jessica Borelli. I’m a pre-licensed professional therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health and a Bachelor’s in Social Work. My approach is simple: you are the expert of your own life, and I’m here to walk beside you—whether you’re navigating healing, growth, identity, or just the day-to-day weight of being human. I’ve worked with clients across all age groups and backgrounds, and I believe every person carries a story worth honoring. My style is client-centered, meaning we move at your pace, in your language, toward goals that feel meaningful to you. Whether it’s through reflection, laughter, tears, or quiet moments of insight, I’m here for the real stuff. I love working at Restorative Alternative Wellness because it allows me to show up authentically—both as a therapist and as a person. It’s a space where healing doesn’t have to look one specific way, and where clients are met with care, dignity, and respect from the moment they walk in.
