Jing Ceci Bissonnette, MA, LMFTA

ABOUT

I come to this work with the understanding that healing begins when we feel safe enough to turn toward our emotions and relationships. It takes courage to be vulnerable and strength to stay curious. Reaching out for support is often the hardest step and, also the first toward meaningful change. I am honored to walk alongside you on your journey of self-realization, self-actualization, and personal evolution.

My work is grounded in systemic theories such as Attachment, Polyvagal, and Bowen Family Systems, allowing me to see individuals, couples, and families within the broader context of their lived experiences. I specialize in supporting clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, and neurodivergence, including ADHD, executive functioning challenges, learning differences, and autism spectrum conditions, particularly the Pathological Demand Avoidance profile.

In individual and family therapy, I help clients connect with their inner strength, cultivate emotional resilience, and reclaim a sense of agency as they face life transitions, challenges, and losses. With couples, I help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust after infidelity, and deepen connection through discernment counseling, relational and marriage counseling, and parenting or co-parenting support.

As a bilingual (English and Chinese) and BIPOC therapist, I am committed to culturally responsive care for clients navigating immigration and acculturation stress, multicultural and intergenerational relationships, Third Culture Kid or Adult experiences, and BIPOC identity work. While our past shapes us, it does not define us. Together, we can make sense of your journey, uncover new paths, and move toward greater authenticity, balance, and fulfillment.
