Jazmin Ponthier, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jazmin!

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns due to life transitions in careers, relationships, and health. I also support individuals with fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting issues. My approach is relational, attachment-based, and strength-based with roots in social justice and cultural humility.

My focus

I work with young adults, BIPOC women, and first-generation folks who need support around life transitions, specifically anxiety and depression within relationships, career, and health. I also support individuals with issues related to fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.

My approach

We all have unique needs, and I tailor my approach based on your goals. I am grounded in relational and attachment theory, as feeling secure and safe is essential to explore and process your experiences and emotions. I offer support through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and EMDR techniques.

My communication style

My communication style is open, kind, compassionate, and flexible. I strive to create a safe place for exploration and curiosity to deepen your self-awareness without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a passion for supporting pathways of healing and self-actualization. Through community organizing, I realized the revolutionary change therapy can have in healing individuals and communities. I feel honored to be part of your journey towards being your best self.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively on goal setting. I slow down and listen as you share what areas you'd like to focus on and factors that have made it difficult to move forward. During our time together, we will revisit your goals to track progress and adjust as needed.

Our first session

During our first meeting, we focus on getting to know each other. Starting therapy is a significant step, so it's important that you learn my style to see if it aligns with your needs and goals. I take time to listen to what is important to you and areas you'd like to focus on during our work together.
