✨ STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Jessica Mahn, LMFT - Our Clinical Director ✨
Meet Jessica, our incredible Clinical Director who brings depth psychology expertise and visionary leadership to everything she does! Jessica provides family therapy in our programs, conducts assessments alongside , and maintains her own practice here at Engage working with children, families, adults, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
What gives Adelina and I ultimate trust in Jess is the way she takes care of our entire staff. She’s constantly minding everyone’s wellbeing and feelings while maintaining the necessary professional boundaries that keep our team strong and our care ethical. It’s a rare skill that makes her an exceptional leader.
But Jessica doesn’t just maintain excellence - she builds it! Current projects coming to fruition include Mindful Beginnings, an extension of our Reflective Parenting Program that incorporates therapeutic play. Jess brings her experience working in preschools alongside her expertise with children using sand tray, puppets, and other play therapy techniques. And get excited - the upcoming Engage Podcast is also in the works! More to come on that.
Fun fact: Jessica is an Engage OG who started her journey with us at the front desk, completed her training under Adelina’s supervision, then gained invaluable experience as Clinical Director at a respected residential treatment center up north before coming back home to us a year and a half ago - just as Adelina went on maternity leave. Perfect timing!
From front desk to Clinical Director to innovation leader - Jessica embodies what’s possible when passion meets purpose. We’re so grateful to have her back where she belongs!
