Hi there, I'm Dr. Jess Ribeiro, a clinical psychologist licensed in Florida, North Carolina, and New Jersey. I can also see patients in most states across the U.S. since I have additional certification through PSYPACT (see here to check the status of your state).

A bit about my professional training and qualifications: I earned a BA in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and my PhD in Clinical Psychology at Florida State University. After finishing my pre-doctoral residency at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, I completed post-doctoral fellowships at Harvard University and Vanderbilt University. Across these experiences, I have received extensive training in leading evidence-based psychotherapies and have worked at all levels of care.

Aside from my clinical practice, I’ve also been also a tenured professor of psychology at a large research university for many years, conducting research and mentoring graduate students. I also oversaw the instruction of our psychological interventions course for PhD students and provided clinical supervision in our training clinic.

I was named a “Rising Star” by the Association of Psychological Science and Best Early Career Researcher by the American Association of Suicidology as well as Behaviour Research and Therapy. For multiple years, I have also been recognized as “Highly Cited Researcher” by the Web of Science, which recognizes scientists whose work ranks in the top 1% of citations in their field. I have authored over 80 peer-reviewed journal articles, many of which are in the field’s leading journals. My research has also been covered in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Scientific American, NBC, PBS, the BBC, among others.

A bit about me as a therapist: If you’re considering therapy, you might be wondering what it would be like to work with me. My clients often describe me as thorough and deeply invested in helping clients reach their goals. My primary goal is to work with you to get back to living your life fully and to do it as quickly as possible. I also sprinkle in a bit of humor when it helps. I use the latest scientific evidence to guide our sessions, and within that approach, everything is still personalized to your unique strengths, challenges, and goals.

A bit about me personally: I currently live with my husband, two young kids, and our dog, Fig. I’m a Seinfeld enthusiast and carrot cake connoisseur. I enjoy being in nature, listening to a good audiobook or podcast, and also love to travel — exploring the world, immersing myself in different cultures and languages, and discovering new experiences are some of my favorite things.
