Jade B. Rafferty, Ph.D., LP (Founder)
Dr. Rafferty earned her doctorate in Clinical Child Psychology from the University of Kansas in 2010. She completed her internship at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and her fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Orange County. She has also worked at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota in the Cancer and Blood Disorders and Pain Departments.
Dr. Rafferty is passionate about helping children and their families navigate distress, improve functioning, and move beyond baseline to build resilience and continue to grow. As a pediatric psychologist, she has a particular interest in working with children, adolescents, and families living with complex medical conditions. She feels honored to be invited into clients’ lives during times of vulnerability and values supporting them in recognizing and building upon their resilience. She also takes a family systems approach, recognizing the importance of supporting the entire family.
Her clinical expertise includes working with children, adolescents, and young adults with anxiety, OCD, cancer, blood disorders, chronic pain, functional disorders, and other rare or complex medical conditions. While many are taught to “think horses, not zebras,” Dr. Rafferty has a deep appreciation for working with “zebras”—individuals with less common or more complex presentations—and finds each person’s unique experience both meaningful and compelling.
Dr. Rafferty primarily utilizes a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach and integrates mind-body interventions, including biofeedback, clinical hypnosis, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). She regularly collaborates with pediatricians, medical specialists, and schools to support coordinated, whole-person care.
She has met the requirements for PSYPACT and is authorized to provide telepsychology services in participating states.
Availability varies by service type. Please reach out to ask about current openings for therapy, parent consultation, or specialty consultation.
