Jessica Gorman, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

Deciding to come to therapy is a big decision, and I'm here to support you in any way I can. I create a safe, judgment-free space where you can talk about whatever is on your mind. You're the expert in your life; think of me as a guide through your therapy journey.

My focus

I support adults through past and present challenges including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem challenges, stress and burnout, women's issues, trauma, and family conflict.

My approach

I work alongside you to amplify the strengths you already have and help you discover more. Every person is different, so my approach will be unique to you and your needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Emotion Focused, Person Centered, and Acceptance and Commitment modalities.

My communication style

I create a safe environment where you can speak without fear of being judged. I'm welcoming and inclusive to everyone. I understand that gender identity, sexuality, relationships, and culture shape who we become and how we experience the world. We'll focus on whatever you'd like at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I wanted to support people through their challenges and help them discover their strengths. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and healing, and I'm honored to walk alongside clients as they navigate their paths toward well-being.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify your goals and create a plan that fits your needs. I'll help you build on your existing strengths while developing new skills and strategies. Progress happens at your pace, and I'll be there to support and guide you every step of the way.

Our first session

We'll talk about your expectations and goals for therapy, and I'll get to know you to better help and serve you. We'll also address any questions or concerns you may have.
