Jessie Gortsema, M.S., CCC-SLP

The Vibe: I am an ADHD SLP, passionate about helping to better understand your communication profile, improve communication in your relationships, and build self-advocacy skills from later adolescence through adulthood.

What Sessions With Me Look Like: I focus on making therapy functional and meaningful for your real life. We might work on understanding your communication profile, navigating differences in how you and your loved ones communicate, building confidence in advocating for your desires within relationships, or learning about your nervous system’s connection to communication. My goal is to help you advocate for your needs and connect to others in a way that feels authentic to you.

Professional Expertise: I earned my Master’s from Florida State University, specializing in autism research and transition programs. I am a Certified Neurodiversity Sexuality Professional and lead our Relationships and Sexuality program, where I support clients in achieving safe, healthy relationship goals. My background also includes extensive work with Assistive Technology (AAC) and career exploration.

Personal Neuro-Spark: I love getting lost in a good book, watching scary movies, and hiking or camping across Colorado with my dog. I’m always up for learning about your latest passions and sharing recommendations!
