Developmental and Synergistic

Because the brain does not develop in isolation, I use a synergistic approach that supports the whole person. Working within a framework that enhances human development, each client’s individualized plan combines sensory-motor exercises with cognitive skill building. This integrative method strengthens underlying weaknesses while promoting overall growth and resilience.

Building and Strengthening

Cognitive Skills

Some clients are students struggling to keep up and move forward, while others experience symptoms recognized or diagnosed as a learning disorder. Other clients may be struggling with concussion syndrome. In each case I work to identify the neurocognitive weakness and create an individualize plan targeted to build and strengthen the client’s cognitive abilities.

Developing and Supporting

Memory and Critical Thinking

Our cognitive skills including memory, processing information, attention, and comprehension support our capacity to manage life’s demands. When these skills are over-taxed, thinking becomes clouded creating anxiety. For students, professionals, and seniors who recognize their need to find a way to release the effects of stress and restore their memory and critical thinking, an individualized plan can help regain the ability to manage challenges more effectively.

Meet Jessica

It is my belief that human beings are designed to discover truth and embrace that which is good as they pursue happiness. This requires that we must be able to perceive our relationships and environments accurately, reason aptly, and respond rightly to the challenges we face. The ability to do so successfully is dependent upon our sensory-motor system, cognitive abilities, resilience, and moral character. As a cognitive development practitioner, I am committed to helping my clients integrate their sensory-motor system, build their cognitive abilities, and develop the resilience they need for purpose-filled growth during their pursuit of happiness.

It has been a privilege for me to work with a diverse population of people. This includes one-on-one cognitive development sessions as well as creating and implementing an early intervention reading program for at-risk children, coaching adults in the areas of motivation and resilience, and preparing and presenting brain health workshops designed to improve memory skills for seniors.

My classroom experience includes teaching in a mixed grade classroom and writing courses and lesson plans for PK-12 grades using an American Classical, Concept-Based approach that develops cognitive skills and critical thinking. In addition to a Master of Education focused on Human Development and Cognitive Psychology, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and am certified to teach Psychology. The continuing education I have received includes licensing and certificates in the areas of cognitive development and neuroeducation that include a therapeutic application of both.

COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION

“During her time at our Retirement Community, Jessica led a neuro-reflex and brain strengthening workshop. This health exercise program, designed to stimulate memory, was well received by our residents. They continuously ask for her return. She is a pleasure to work with, professional, and cheerful. Her communication and people skills are excellent, and she has very innovative ideas.”

Kristin W., Resident Life Director

“Our son was struggling with his schoolwork despite his eagerness and interest in learning. He was diagnosed with dysgraphia and orthographic processing issues, but our school system was unable to help him. After completing 60 hours of online sessions with Ms. Stearns, and engaging in the sensory-motor development and neuro-development components of his program, my son is now confident in his academic abilities which has, in turn, improved his self-esteem. He no longer shies away from handwriting and has reported that his critical thinking has improved and he ‘doesn’t get stuck as much as he used to.’ I was struck with how she incorporated his whole self into her teaching. We would gladly work with her again if the need arose.”

Lee A., Clinical Art Therapist

“I loved working with her. At first I thought it was going to be annoying and boring, but she made it fun and she would understand if I wasn’t feeling well. And she’s a very nice person over-all. And she helped me improve my academic life.”

Matthew M., six grade student

“Jessica provided therapy for my ten-year-old son who struggled with memorizing, reading, and writing. She was very patient, encouraging, and committed to helping him feel empowered and successful. He finished the program feeling confident to learn. We were amazed by the results! I am happy to show others his progress from the start to finish of cognitive therapy with Jessica.”

Sarah P., parent

“Jessica was great to work with. She customized my coaching to fit what I needed to work on. She was always available to answer questions. The sessions were always interesting and I walked away from each session with a different way of looking at things. She presented me with topics to read that helped me develop. I would work with her again.”
