Jerrica is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Utah. After working in wilderness therapy for three years, Jerrica received her Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Utah. She has had extensive experience with adventure and outdoor programs and was a lead therapist with a residential treatment program for adolescent girls before working as a private practice therapist. She has been facilitating multi-day intensives for individuals, couples and families in addition to her work in her private practice, More Being.
Jerrica began her work with Somebody's Thinking About You when there was a natural intersection between the love she has for her community and her years of professional experience. Jerrica has helped people of all ages acknowledge the power of vulnerability and develop healthy communication & boundaries skills. She specializes in connecting how present day struggles, family of origin, experience of shame, attachment, and our relationship with self all play a role in the underlying work. She works from a holistic lens and implements a range of tools, with a focus on the mind-body connection, to effectively address the traumas that can create our darkest parts. She supports her clients in figuring out how to shine light in places that feel most vulnerable, and finds power in curiosity and compassion.
By working with S.T.A.Y., Jerrica contributes to creating professional and empirically supported programs, facilitates individual and group experiences, and effectively advocates for the importance of mental health wellness and suicide prevention awareness.
