I believe the answers to most of our life questions come from within us. Therapy provides you with a safe, non-judgmental, supportive space for you to better understand yourself, where you’re at, where you want to be, and how to get there.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, and those experiencing life transitions.

I’m passionate about helping adults, teens and couples navigate the difficult moments and the bumps in the road that limit us.

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.

At different points in our lives, we may find ourselves navigating difficult waters. These periods are tender and sacred, and having the light and guidance of a therapist can be healing in many ways. I have a genuine interest in getting to know you and holding a warm, gentle, nonjudgmental space for you to explore yourself. I am curious about the identities you embody and how these identities intersect and dance within a larger context of family, community, culture, and social systems.

Whether you are exploring issues around identity, your relationships with those closest to you, feelings of anxiety or depression, or life changes and transitions, I will be happy to create a space for you to do so. You may want to process a crisis or trauma, or just want a safe and non-judgemental place to express yourself and feel heard.

Most of my clinical training has been with college students, young adults, and LGBTQIA communities, but I have experience working with clients across the lifespan.

In therapy, I value creating a safe, warm, trusting environment where you will develop new insight into your life and cultivate new strategies to meet your goals.

I provide holistic psychotherapy to help my clients create a more joyful and fulfilling life for themselves. I work well with a wide variety of psychoemotional problems. These include anxiety, depression, psychosis, and addictions. Relationship difficulties are a specialty of mine and I take a lot of joy in helping people improve their relationship life. My approach is different than most therapy and psychiatry in that it's not just about reducing symptoms, it's about each person's unique prescription for happiness.

It can be challenging to find a space where we feel truly authentic and accepted. In my practice, I strive to honor this and create a supportive space where my clients feel accepted and learn to accept who they are. As a queer-identifying therapist, I especially focus on the impact oppressive systems have on our lives and what we can do to navigate them. With a bit of humor and ample collaboration, I aim to integrate clients' intersectional identities and personal interests, like music and media, to support with living more authentically, finding ways to cope when times are bleak, and understanding our colorful emotions and values.

Looks like you have reached the tipping point! Whatever has you searching for help, you're already creating change simply by being here. Sometimes all you need is to learn and practice more effective ways of communicating. Sometimes it's an issue of healing from catastrophic wounds, but it's often a complex and intricate combination of things. Regardless of the reason(s), you wouldn't be searching if you didn't already know you may benefit from personal therapy. I firmly believe that most human suffering is learned, and anything that has been learned can be unlearned with the right support.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that leave you unfulfilled? Perhaps you are struggling to understand or embrace your full identity. Maybe you are going through a significant life transition.

Clients bring all sorts of challenges to our work – depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, body image challenges, sexuality questions, athlete specific issues, and more.
