Our Treatment Focus

Do you think non-stop about negative things that could happen? Do you break out into sweat and experience a racing heart in social situations? Do you feel like you have low energy, feel sad, or lethargic? Do you struggle with sleeping too much and still feeling tired, or inability to sleep at all? Do you have nightmares? Do you struggle to relate to others interpersonally, perhaps having difficulties making friends or developing romantic interests? Perhaps you have difficulty committing to relationships. Or maybe you become co-dependent and have difficulty functioning without reassurance from others? Do you struggle with doing activities by yourself? Are you anxious when your spouse leaves, worrying that something might happen resulting in them leaving you? Do you feel a sense of fear or dread when you are alone, but don’t quite know why? Do you struggle with anger, at times, responding in ways in which you would prefer not to? Do you have difficulty identifying what you are feeling?

These are just a few of the many ways that Emotional Advantage Inc may be able to help you. These experiences are far more common than you would think and are not something that anyone should feel ashamed of. We are all human and have struggles, but we can learn to reach out when we need help and understand how to manage our problems in a better way, so that we can have more meaningful lives. Emotional Advantage Inc offers individual psychotherapy for adults and teens who are 13 and older.

Our Therapists

Dr. Jessica Misner is a Board Certified, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, who is passionate about helping others work towards developing a meaningful life.

With over 11 years of higher education and over a decade of experience in the field providing individual therapy, and a background in psychological assessment, she is well qualified to help you work towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life. She has specialties in Grief and Attachment issues/trauma, but also works with a wide variety of other areas including depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, etc.

Dr. Misner works from a collaborative perspective with patients in order to help them recognize patterns in behaviors and relationship styles that are affecting their lives. She truly believes that each patient is their own expert on their life experience. Through collaboration with a therapist, patients may be able to recognize patterns they have not noticed before, or be able to understand themselves in different ways. She believes in treating patients holistically; understanding the patient’s culture, background, and life experiences and how the biological, psychological, and social environment may impact an individual to cause the difficulties they are experiencing.

In addition to being board certified, Dr. Misner is also a level 3 AEDP trained therapist. (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) She specializes in helping patients recognize how they are feeling in their bodies, learning to name the feelings, and then being able to reflect on what the feelings mean to them. She works with patients to help them find their authentic selves and reflect on whether or not they are engaging in the world in ways which stay true to/or align with their authentic selves. Research indicates that the outcomes for this type of therapy, unlike some other popular forms of therapy, last long after the treatment is completed. By addressing emotions, there is also evidence that this improves negative thought processes, increases self-esteem and self-compassion, and helps decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety, all while improving interpersonal relationships.
