Meet Jessy Quilindo

Jessy’s early life and professional journey were shaped by deep human encounters with resilience, relational pain, and transformative change. Long before formal clinical training, she lived and witnessed a truth that would later underpin her therapeutic work:
people often change not because their suffering is erased — but because someone stays with them through it, modelling patience, presence, and persistent care.

​

In her clinical observation, Jessy saw how long-standing relational patterns — like emotional withdrawal, addiction, chronic conflict, and self-abandonment — are rarely resolved by quick fixes. Instead, lasting change emerges through sustained commitment, relational attunement, and the willingness to hold hope even when outcomes seem unlikely.

​

This insight was not abstract for Jessy. In community settings and in her role leading women’s support initiatives, she observed the psychological impact of long-term stress, attachment rupture, and interpersonal chaos:

• how constant worry reshapes threat systems in the brain

• how chronic relational pain erodes self-worth

• how transformation often begins with a person feeling genuinely seen and understood

​

How Jessy Works

​

Jessy’s approach is relational, body-aware, and deeply respectful of each client’s pace. Her work centres on two core shifts:

​

1. Emotional Avoidance → Assertiveness

• Identifying avoidance, anxiety, and appeasement patterns

• Mapping emotional and relational triggers

• Understanding the body’s threat responses

• Practicing vulnerability without self-erasure

​

2. People-Pleasing → Values and Authenticity

• Tracing whose approval still governs your choices

• Reconnecting with personal values

• Creating rituals that honor the authentic self

• Rewiring the nervous system to tolerate visibility and truth

​

In addition to her clinical background, Jessy serves as a Women’s Ministries Director, a role she approaches through a psychological and care-based lens. She designs and facilitates women’s support programs, leads reflective group spaces, and provides emotional accompaniment through grief, burnout, relational strain, and identity transitions — work that deepened her understanding of attachment patterns and group dynamics in women’s lives.

​

Who She Works With

​

• Women with low self-worth, fragile self-esteem, or a long history of self-doubt shaped by relational roles, caregiving, or chronic self-sacrifice

• Individuals processing grief and loss in all its forms — including bereavement, relational endings, identity loss, and unacknowledged or ambiguous grief

• Women who are emotionally exhausted from always being “the strong one,” the peacekeeper, or the reliable presence others lean on

• Individuals navigating chronic people-pleasing, emotional suppression, or difficulty asserting needs without guilt or fear of rejection

• Women experiencing emotional numbness, burnout, or a sense of disconnection from their own desires and boundaries

• Individuals working through attachment-related wounds, relational rupture, or long-standing patterns of self-abandonment

• Anyone learning how to re-mother themselves with care, structure, and boundaries — replacing self-criticism with attuned self-support
