Jared Gaurano, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jared!

The primary topics I work on with my clients are grief, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I use Compassion-Based, Faith-Based, CBT, and Narrative therapy to guide my clients toward healing.

My focus

I have worked with those experiencing grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I have also worked with couples experiencing relational impairment. I can understand that those experiences can be tough to process. With therapy, talking about and processing those experiences can be healing.

My approach

My approach is collaborative and compassionate. I believe in creating space for healing, understanding, and helpful meaning-making to happen.

My communication style

I believe each voice and perspective is valuable, and that participation in talking about your lived experiences requires building a collaborative and compassionate space.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey as a therapist began with my love of psychology in high school. This strong feeling led me to discover the importance of mental health, of dialogical collaboration, and of privileging each voice.

My goals for you

I am interested in how the problem is felt, talked about, and thought about. I believe that centering your experience with the problem in our conversation can lead to not solving, but dissolving, the problem to the point where it does not feel so powerful anymore.

Our first session

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then talk about what is on your mind for therapy and current challenges you are facing. From there, we can build a roadmap for what to expect for the rest of our session and beyond.
