Jessica Guillory, LPC

Jessica Guillory, LPC, is a queer black femme practicing in the southern United States. Her first encounter with AEDP was during a time of tumult in her personal and professional life, in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and during the global pandemic. Though she was intrigued intellectually by the deeply relational and rigorously somatic modality, what led her to own AEDP as her chosen community is the demonstrative and ongoing commitment to peace work of her AEDP colleagues. The capacity for transformation and healing across myriad communities, identities, and intersections is the source of hope and continued renewal that she so deeply craved then and still drinks deeply from now. 

In her work with the Vision Collective, she is continuing to pursue the shared commitment for healing, specifically through the education and praxis of the use of AEDP to heal racialized trauma. Working with BIPOC members of the LGBTQ+ community in Texas during these challenging political times is a source of especial pride and joy as the resiliency and solidarity of the human race is on indelible display.
