About Jessie

A grounded, compassionate presence for your healing journey

Hi, I’m Jessie Akos (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and integrative psychotherapist based in Colorado. I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, and psychedelic experiences.

At the heart of my work is a deep belief that healing happens in relationship — through presence, safety, curiosity, and connection. I bring warmth, intuition, and clinical skill to our work together, offering a space where all parts of you are welcome.

My approach

My practice is relational, body-aware, and trauma-informed. I draw from modalities like:

  • Somatic therapy – helping you tune into the body’s wisdom

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – building psychological flexibility and aligning you with your values

  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy- cultivating present-moment awareness and self compassion

  • Psychedelic integration – weaving insights from non-ordinary states into everyday life

I’m not a blank slate therapist. I show up with real presence, and I meet you where you are. Together we’ll move at your pace, gently working through what feels stuck so you can reconnect with your inner resilience and clarity.

Who I work with

My clients are deep thinkers, seekers, creatives, and caregivers. Many are navigating grief, burnout, relationship shifts, or questions of meaning. Some come after profound experiences with psychedelics and need support making sense of what’s opened up. Others are simply feeling disconnected and want to find their way back to themselves.

Whether you’re walking through loss, ready to shed old patterns, or just longing for more aliveness — therapy can help.

Credentials & training

  • Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) – Colorado

A little more about me

I’m a mother, a writer, a singer, and a lifelong student of the psyche and spirit. Outside the therapy room, you’ll often find me hiking Colorado’s trails, reading fiction, or wrestling with my very energetic dog.

I know how hard it can be to reach out — and I honor your courage in beginning this search. If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to book a free 20-minute consultation. Let’s see if it feels like a fit.
