Jessica Bautista

My communication style

I focus on a person's strengths and goals by creating a warm, compassionate, and inviting atmosphere, utilizing a client-centered approach. I believe my role is to support a person in their journey, through self-awareness and empowerment, by finding solutions in the present to reach their goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey as a therapist began as I made my transition from high school to San Francisco City College. I found myself searching for jobs to support my studies, and it was through a tutoring job that I first began to get interested in the field of Psychology. I began to tutor ESL students who were newcomers to the U.S.

My goals for you

I use a collaborative approach to identify areas you want to improve and develop goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Together, we create a clear path forward that honors your unique needs and aspirations.

Our first session

Clients should expect a warm, welcoming rapport-building session through getting to know you by utilizing open-ended questions and allowing the client to share at a pace comfortable to them, their challenge(s) that have brought them to therapy, presenting symptom(s), goals, and expectations on therapy.
