Jess The LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker born, raised, and based in the Los Angeles area. I earned bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Sociology from Loyola Marymount University and a Master of Social Work with an emphasis in Mental Health from the University of Southern California. Fight On!

I am passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. I believe therapy can be a powerful tool for growth, healing, and self-discovery, and I am committed to reducing mental health stigma through every interaction, with clients and within the community.

I have over 13 years of clinical experience providing therapy to individuals across the lifespan. While I have experience working with clients of all ages, I most often work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and challenges related to life transitions.

My approach is individualized and draws from evidence-based modalities, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Strengths-Based Therapy, all through a trauma-informed lens.

At Jess Mae Therapy, I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of the healing process. Clients often describe me as calm, genuine, and authentically compassionate, creating a space where they feel comfortable, supported, and safe.

My goal is to help you better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, and navigate the real and perceived barriers that may be keeping you from living the life you want. Together, we'll work toward helping you become the healthiest, most authentic version of yourself.
