Jennifer Pearlman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MA, NCC, LPCC, CA & NJ
2 Endorsed
Downtown, San Diego, CA 92101
For over 15 years, I've helped people work through anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach blends talk therapy with body-based practices including Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Hakomi, and Craniosacral-informed techniques. I've seen how much of what we carry lives not just in our thoughts, but in our breath, our tension, and our nervous system. Healing happens not just through insight, but through reconnecting with your body. Our work can help you feel safe enough to make positive changes, inside and out.
