Jonei Chapple-Sewell, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jonei!

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor seeking to be an ear for those who are not heard, an advocate for those who are underrepresented, and helping those overcome who never thought it was possible. I provide therapeutic services to students, adolescents, adults, parents/guardians, and marginalized communities.

My focus

I have clinical experience with BIPOC communities, at-promise youth, sex-trafficked youth, military families, LGBTQIA individuals, and families across income levels. I specialize in complex trauma, depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, low self-esteem, identity challenges, and grief.

My approach

My clinical approach includes Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. My goal is to help you identify your triggers, manage your stressors, and increase a supportive community around you to live a life worth living.

My communication style

I intentionally collaborate with clients to shape their safe space in sessions to build insight, self-awareness, identify development, and think critically about how systems around them that impact their daily life, such as familial, work, relationships, media, and the political climate.

My journey to mental healthcare

My lived experience and story is why I became a therapist. I have lived through isolation, hyper-independence, with little to no community I was able to be vulnerable with. I see the power in providing space for clients to feel seen, heard, and encouraged to take one step at a time.

My goals for you

I am collaborative with goal setting in therapy sessions with my clients. The client's goals in therapy are my goals and we work together to address their goals in session.

Our first session

As A black women, I bring my whole session to therapy sessions. I am able to model that clients have permission to be their authentic self in every session without judgment from me.
