Jessica Jean Baptiste
About
Hello and welcome! My name is Dr. Jessica Jean Baptiste (She/Her), and I’m a licensed psychologist. I live in Maryland and I hold an active PsyPact license which allows me to provide services via Telehealth to clients in 40+ states. I am passionate about supporting adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic medical conditions, and life transitions. As a clinician, I believe healing happens within a safe, collaborative relationship where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and understood. I approach care in a relational, holistic, and person-centered way, drawing on evidence-based strategies while honoring each person’s unique experiences, identities, and strengths.
My interest in working with autistic and neurodivergent adults developed through years of listening closely to clients’ stories. I often met adults who had spent much of their lives feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or unsure why certain things felt harder for them, especially those who were never evaluated earlier in life or who received a diagnosis later on. With a background in psychological assessment, I’ve seen how the process of thoughtfully exploring neurodivergence can be deeply validating. For many people, a later-in-life assessment isn’t about labels, it’s about gaining clarity, self-understanding, and a new, more compassionate way of making sense of past experiences.
