About Jessica Northrop
I have been fortunate to work in a variety of different settings, so I have experience with literally the full lifespan, from birth to death. I have mostly enjoyed and found that I have been successful in working with young children and their families as well as the senior adult population. I have a great interest in ensuring that young children get all behavioral services that are possible, to avoid medication unless it is absolutely necessary. I have also been successful in helping individuals cope with chronic illness as well as with helping their families to cope with the stress of caregiving and dealing with the dichotomy of looking at a person both as a “patient” and as a “loved one”. Within the chronic illness population, I am also interested in helping those suffering from obesity to assess if there is a psychological component to their condition and looking at a different way to lose weight.
