Jaymie Olea, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jaymie!

Welcome! Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time or continuing your journey, I'm glad you're here. I'm passionate about creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences and work toward your goals. Every person's story is unique, and I'm honored to be a part of your journey!

My focus

Feeling overwhelmed, lost, or like life has become difficult to manage? I work with young and middle-aged adults navigating recovery from substance use, life transitions, mood-related concerns, and self-worth challenges. Together, we'll foster greater self-awareness and create a personalized plan that feels both empowering and achievable.

My approach

My approach to therapy is person-centered and collaborative. I strive to create a curious and nonjudgmental space that guides our work together. I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and strengths-based therapy.

My communication style

I foster open and honest communication to create a supportive, reflective therapeutic space. Guided by curiosity and cultural humility, I support clients in exploring their experiences and developing greater self-awareness. As we navigate difficult moments, I incorporate empathic listening, therapeutic silence, and grounding practices.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep appreciation for people's unique stories and lived experiences. I am passionate about providing a safe, supportive space where clients can navigate life's challenges, celebrate growth, and pursue meaningful healing and personal change.

My goals for you

Therapy is a collaborative partnership where we establish goals that reflect your values and priorities. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop new tools, and work toward meaningful change. We'll also revisit and adjust our goals to ensure our work remains relevant and effective.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another and explore what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your goals, answer any questions you have, and review what to expect. Building trust takes time, so we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for you.
