Jessica Qureshi

I am a Licensed Clinician Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland specializing in treating young adults with neurodivergence, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders with dialectical behavioral therapy.

I am a first-generation immigrant with personal experience with acculturation, identity issues, ADHD, and anxiety. I created Intentional Mental Health and Wellness after establishing a niche in the neurodivergent community and noticing similar challenges turning intentions into lifestyle. My goal in therapy is to help people align their intentions with their actions in the contexts of their relationships and overall lifestyle.

Many of the adults and young adults (16+) I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or uncertain about their direction. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, mood swings, relationship challenges, identity concerns, ADHD, autism, or the stress of life transitions. I work with clients to better understand their diagnoses as well as coping tools to manage their stressors. My goal is to help clients turn their self-awareness and intentions into actions and life changes. Together, we can work toward getting you from knowing what you want in life to becoming who you want to be.

With a warm, empathetic approach, I create a space for self-reflection and compassionate accountability. I practice dialectical behavioral therapy to help you integrate mindfulness, relationship health, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques into your day to bring your intentions to life and confidently move through life.
