My name is Jacquie Josephson, PsyD, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California. I work with individuals who struggle with symptoms that are related to depression, anxiety, and trauma which include things like self-esteem issues, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and substance abuse. I provide psychotherapy with a client-centered approach, meaning that my work is a collaborative process where my client's expressed goals are the guide for their treatment. I utilize a few approaches including psychodynamic, relational, EMDR, internal family systems, somatic, and mindfulness modalities.
I create a safe place for you to slow down and take a closer look at what is causing pain and struggle in your life. I find it helpful to ask questions to get a clearer understanding of how you found yourself in this place. My communication style is largely inquisitive, and I will bring in some more directive pieces when necessary or when requested.
During the first couple of sessions there is a quick review logistical aspects of therapy such as limits of confidentiality. I like to spend the majority of the time listening, discussing what you're coming to therapy for, and check in about how you're feeling about working with me. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
