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.”

If not, we can work towards helping you to work more in your purpose. I help you restore confidence in facing fear, balancing work/life including changes, turning negative mindsets into positive ones and assisting others to create a fresh start while focusing on your strengths and passions.

Accepting New Clients! (July 2023). I am an identity and relationship therapist who offers my clients support to clarify and feel empowered in their relationships with themselves and others. My clients have reported improved relationship dynamics, better mood management and coping skills, and empowered decision making as a result of our work together. My appreciation for human complexity and sensitivity to diverse human experiences allows me to invite and support individual, couples and families from all walks of human existence.

I am a body-centered therapist who specializes in working with trauma and emotion instability/intensity—this includes interpersonal relationships, depression, anger & anxiety. With this approach, we can get to a deeper understanding of diagnosis like Bipolar, Borderline Personality Disorder, and adult ADHD. Therapy is a two-pong approach: the skills & tools to get you through the day-to-day; and psychodynamic work of getting to the root of the issues (trauma-informed lens). I combine DBT/CBT skills and tools, with EMDR and tenants of IFS to stabilize symptoms, make way for healing, and a deeper understanding & connection to self.

Welcome! With my warm gentle nature and holistic approach, I support my clients in uncovering their true resilient selves.
