Jessica Alexander McWilliam, MSW, LCSW
Specializes In:
Hi, my name is Jessica McWilliam but my clients call me Jess! I attended Sacred Heart University for my undergraduate degree, graduating with magna cum laude and Fordham University for my masters, graduating with summa cum laude. I’m a licensed clinical social worker committed to helping teens and young adults learn how to explore healthier relationships with their feelings and life experiences. My work focuses on taking a strength based perspective approach, while utilizing cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy. I believe in meeting a client where they are at and working alongside them to achieve their goals.
