Jeff Cowan, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jeff!

My approach is non-judgmental, empathetic, and collaborative. I try to create a therapeutic space where clients can feel safe to be their authentic selves and where they feel trust in the therapeutic relationship.

My focus

I serve individual adults experiencing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, life transitions, having a harsh inner critic, work stress, feeling stuck, and those wanting to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

My approach

My approach can vary depending on the needs of my clients. I often incorporate a person-centered, mindfulness, and psychodynamic lens in my work to facilitate both inner and outer change. I bring respect and reverence to whatever you are experiencing and work collaboratively with clients to create meaningful and positive change.

My communication style

My communication style is empathetic, non-judgmental, gentle, warm, patient, understanding, curious, and compassionate. I like to create an environment where clients can feel safe to communicate honestly and bring their deepest and most authentic selves to the therapeutic process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I have a deep desire to help people suffer less and feel joy more. Since a young age, I've always had a strong interest in studying psychology theories and healing modalities. It is an honor to support others in asking themselves deep questions.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to create goals that are in alignment with the change they are seeking. Together, we look at what you are experiencing and the change you want, and explore how this change can be achieved. Throughout our work, we can assess goals and track progress together.

Our first session

In our first session, we build rapport and get to know each other. It is a time when I gather information about clients' history, discuss what you want support with, and explore what you want to get from the therapeutic process. It is a time when I can also answer any and all questions you may have.
