Accepting New Clients!!!! My name is Jacqueline Anthony, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California and Nevada. I began my career in counseling in the 1980’s when I served as a Correctional Counselor for the California Department of Corrections. While working for the Department of Corrections, I received many life lessons that inform my practice today. Though too numerous to mention, the most salient points include the resiliency of the human spirit, the resolve of a vision, and the truth that our true and lasting wealth is “this moment, this hour, this day.”

Whether you are currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can be a challenging, rewarding, and life-changing experience.

Most of us when experiencing trauma or emotional challenges abandon our “self”. This self-abandonment leads to poor boundaries between the self and the external environment, and it interferes with satisfying our own needs. We lose our ability to listen to our core, practice compassion towards the self and identify and fulfill our own needs. Utilizing my 35 years of clinical experience, I will help you reconnect with your core self, identify the dysfunctional scripts that you have internalized and encoded in both your brain and your body. I will help you both unlearn them and also replace them with new, life-affirming messages.
