Dr. Jessica Pae, PsyD
Dr. Pae’s statement of purpose: “I am called to strengthen families and help others find freedom,
healing, and wholeness while promoting resilience. Likewise, walking with you and witnessing your
growth is a true honor. Understanding the complexities of human nature begins with the assumption
that people are multifaceted. This is also why I strive to understand individuals through a biological-
psychological-social-spiritual lens. My deep interest in people, problems, and processes has allowed
me to develop the ability to see the complex patterns and interrelatedness of understanding
individuals within their respective contexts.”
She has built a repertoire of skills instrumental in providing treatment in outpatient/inpatient hospital
settings, primary care clinics, schools, and residential treatment centers. Her desire is to provide an
emotionally safe atmosphere for others where they can explore painful struggles and at the same time
to offer humor and joy for life that inspires optimism and hope.
