Jaycee Edmiston, LMFT

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Jaycee Edmiston is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who approaches therapy with  warmth, compassion, and a deep respect for the complexity of each person’s experiences.  She believes that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative and judgement-free  space where patients feel safe to express who they are and how they feel. In this  environment, Jaycee recognizes that her patients gain the confidence to better understand  themselves, develop greater self-compassion, and navigate difficult experiences with both  acceptance and intention.  

Jaycee's approach to therapy is based on strengthening each patient's understanding of  themself. She does this by helping patients explore the meaning they make from their  experiences, develop acceptance of pain and uncertainty, and identify the values that can  guide them toward meaningful change. She incorporates evidence-based approaches such  as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to  provide patients with practical skills for managing difficult emotions, breaking free from  rigid patterns, and developing healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. 

Jaycee works with adolescents and adults experiencing a range of concerns, including  anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, self-esteem and self-worth, grief and loss, chronic  illness, and disordered eating. To meet each patient's specific needs and schedule, she  offers both in-person and remote telehealth therapy sessions.
