INDIVIDUAL THERAPY, CLINICAL SUPERVISION, PRIVATE PRACTICE COACHINGJennifer Byxbee (ATR-BC, LCAT, CGT), founder of CAP Therapy NYC, is a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience treating high-achieving clients navigating the long-term effects of childhood trauma. Many of her clients built their success by becoming excellent at managing things: staying in control, reading a room before anyone else does, pushing through. Those same strategies, so effective early on, tend to calcify into perfectionism, chronic anxiety, and a nervous system that never fully powers down.
Jennifer's clinical focus is Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) related to childhood abuse, along with the perfectionism, anxiety, and global nervous system activation that so often accompany it. She also treats disordered eating, identity exploration, and LGBTQ+ concerns.
To address this work, Jennifer developed an integrative, experiential approach combining Gestalt, Somatic Therapy, Creative Arts Therapy, and Dreamwork, treating the nervous system directly rather than relying on talk alone. Her approach is non-pathologizing: she works from the belief that coping strategies, however outdated they've become, were once brilliant solutions, and that the goal isn't to erase them but to help clients recognize when they're no longer needed.
Jennifer trained at the School of Visual Arts, where she received her Master's degree in Art Therapy in 2007, and completed a Clinical Fellowship at Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in 2018, where she now serves as adjunct faculty. She is currently completing her Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Certification through SEI. Her clinical background includes work at institutions such as Mount Sinai, alongside nonprofits, schools, and community health centers across NYC.
After nearly 20 years building her clinical expertise, Jennifer founded CAP Therapy NYC, where she now leads a team of therapists trained in her integrative, experiential approach.

Fee: Individual $275 Couples $325
Therapy is a space to slow down and tune into the deeper layers of experience. My approach is experiential and non-pathologizing, centered on each person's humanity and capacity for change. I value the many forms communication takes — spoken and unspoken — and the ways insight, creativity, and play can surface feelings that are hard to access directly. I aim to help clients reconnect with themselves, loosen rigid patterns, and build more intimacy and understanding in their relationships and lives.

With a deep appreciation for the healing power of creativity, Jessica brings warmth, empathy, and a strengths-based approach to her work.

"I am committed to creating a culturally sensitive safe space where clients can explore emotions, gain insights, and discover their authentic voices of expression. Although artmaking is not mandatory, as an art therapist, my mission is to share art as a tool for healing, self-exploration, and self-affirmation. Through this process, I encourage the inner muse while helping clients utilize the inner critic in a productive and manageable manner."
