New Leaf Academy
Expands Clinical Team

New Leaf Academy, a therapeutic boarding school for girls 10 - 14 at time of admission, is pleased to announce the expansion of our clinical team with the hiring of Jessica Sinacori, LMFT.

Jessica brings an extensive resume of work with children and families to her Therapist position at New Leaf. She received her B.A. degree from George Washington University in the District of Columbia and completed her graduate work in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Oregon. She has provided individual, group and family therapy in a variety of settings using a family systems approach, including her role as Therapist at the Morrison Center in Portland, Oregon where she provided comprehensive therapeutic services to children 2-18 years of age.

Her areas of therapeutic specialization focus on structural and strategic therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). As a preparatory boarding school student while growing up in Connecticut, Jessica understands the impact of staff and peers, and the depth of relationships that develop in a setting like New Leaf.

"We are very excited to welcome Jessica to the New Leaf team" said Craig Christiansen, Founder and Executive Director. " Her expertise and understanding of the pre-adolescent and immature adolescent girls we work with is at a very high level, and allows us to enhance the clinical focus developed over the past 15 years".
