Hello, I'm glad you are seeking the support you deserve. There are many stressors going on in today’s society and everyone can benefit from support. Therapy is a steppingstone, and my goal is to foster confidence in my client’s abilities to manage life so they can achieve a life worth living. I use a radically genuine approach combined with evidence-based treatments to ensure success in my client’s treatment. I specialize in working with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction. I have worked with children, adults, teens, elderly, and groups.

Life is already quite difficult without that added everyday stressors that we encounter along the way. It can make us feel alone, defeated, hopeless, scared, and worried about our futures and our loved ones. When someone feels this way, it's hard to reach out for support. Maybe it's because we don't want to feel like being a burden to others, or because we don't want people to know our personal struggles. In reality, our life struggles are much more commonly shared than we actually realize. Most of us just want to be content in life. You are not alone! I understand, and together we will get you where you want to be in life.

Note: Emails receive a quicker response. Awareness allows for change. This is a phrase I have coined that you will hear from me often. Let's discuss this topic together. When we achieve awareness within ourselves, awareness of our environment, and awareness of our patterns of thought and behaviors - that's when positive changes can start to happen. One of the most important things that therapy can help you to achieve is awareness. As your therapist, I will be an additional resource for you as you endeavor to explore the areas of your life that need your energy and attention.

Hello, hello! I am Jennifer Beers (she/her), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing telehealth therapy coast to coast in CA. I am passionate about mental health and breaking generational barriers of mental illness. I provide a safe non judgemental place where clients can become the best versions of themselves. I believe past experiences affect our current functioning and through integration of our whole self there can be healing. I work from a lens of unconditional positive regard for each of my clients, embracing the awkward of therapy and a space where authenticity flourishes.

Vulnerability researcher and storyteller Brené Brown stated once that authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be, and instead, embracing who we are. Do you feel insecure, lost, or helpless? Do you ever feel immense pressure to be someone that you are not? Do you feel depressed or anxious about life’s journey or had a loss? Do you find yourself dwelling on the past or the future, preventing you from truly living a joyous life? Have you experienced trauma or loss and are struggling to move forward? I will help you understand yourself better so you can live a peaceful and happier life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping my clients find healing and empowerment through self-awareness and personal growth. I’ve worked in mental health and addiction treatment for over two decades and offer support options for a vast array of challenges; from severe emotional and personality disorders to day-to-day struggles. My life's purpose is to help others reach their goals, navigate their struggles, and walk in their strengths.

INTERRACIAL COUPLES…. Culturally diverse factors may exist but the underlining issues threatening your happiness are the same as any other relationship. Emotional detachment leaving you feeling isolated and disconnected when there has been a shift in focus to career, friends, children, hobbies or social activities. Your partner fails to express gratitude or appreciation for the contribution you make to the relationship leaving you agitated and bitter. Sensing a loss of sexual intimacy or struggling with physical affection. Toxic Masculinity or Femininity may have left you defenseless against verbal or physical abuse.

My approach is client-centered. I help clients who suffer from depression, anxiety and other issues. I have specialty training and numerous certificates in various modalities. I believe people who suffer from depression are dealing with grief and focus treatment accordingly.
