Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Jacinta!

Feeling crazy? Lost your peace? Struggling with thoughts and emotions? Are you having a hard time dealing with stress, relationships, and navigating through life? Sometimes life can lead us to a place where we want to "give up." I believe it takes a strong person to seek out counseling and support to initiate the change you are looking for. I would love to help you get there.

My approach

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am committed to working with you to create change by developing goals, identifying and increasing strengths, processing experiences, empowering, nurturing, and providing psychoeducation to enable change. My therapeutic approach is drawn from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (certified), Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy model, Attachment theory, Solution-Focused, Functional Family Therapy, Mindfulness, and life coaching guided by individual needs, which reinforces strengths and abilities to facilitate change.

My focus

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who have experienced anxiety, depression, anger management, ADHD, low self-esteem, PTSD, abuse/neglect, developmental trauma, emotional/sexual trauma, relationship problems, parenting difficulties, attachment difficulties, coping with life stressors, behavioral issues, grief and loss, addiction, and career and school difficulties.

My communication style

I describe my approach as empathetic, warm, goal-oriented, and client-centered. I have worked in partnership with clients and parents to develop ways to support skills and improve their children's relationships and emotional development.

My journey to mental healthcare

My name is Dr. Jacinta Brown-Wade and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I have worked in the Behavioral Health field for 14 years providing community-based and full-partnership services to children, adolescents, families, and couples. I hold a Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy.

My goals for you

My goal is to help my clients set goals and objectives, work through their trauma, and feel empowered once they have met their goals.
