S2 Episode 4: Making Mental Health Relatable with Jessica Leigh, Ph.D.


Listen Later

Jessica Leigh is a psychotherapist who specializes in pediatric psychology who has a deep love for educating people about mental health through relatable and digestible content. Although very accomplished, Jessica struggles with a lot of the same things we all struggle and that made talking to her very easy because of how relatable she is. Jessica even said, "from the outside it appears that I have it all together, but on the inside, I struggled (and still do) with feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, and falling prey to my inner critic." As a Clinical Psychologist & Social Media Content Creator, Jessica makes mental health more accessible and relatable, by integrating her personal experiences and clinical knowledge to destigmatize mental health.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting.
