Jamie Pimentel, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jamie!

I provide trauma-informed therapy for older teens (16+), and young adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in ACT, somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and attachment-focused care.

My focus

I work with older teens (16+), young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, perfectionism, and relationship stress. I also support clients navigating OCD, ADHD, chronic stress, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

My approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate ACT, somatic therapy, Brainspotting, CBT, and attachment-focused approaches to help clients better understand themselves, regulate emotions, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My communication style

I strive to create a therapy space that feels warm, supportive, nonjudgmental, and genuine. Clients often describe me as approachable, calming, and easy to talk to. My goal is to help clients feel emotionally safe, understood, and supported while working toward meaningful change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy through a passion for helping others feel seen, understood, and supported through difficult experiences. I value creating a space where clients can show up authentically, build self-understanding, and begin healing in ways that feel meaningful and lasting.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively, recognizing that each client’s needs and pace are different. Together, we identify meaningful goals focused on emotional well-being, healthier coping, self-understanding, and creating sustainable changes that feel realistic and supportive.

Our first session

The first session is a space to begin building connection, explore what brings you to therapy, and better understand your goals, challenges, and experiences. Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we move at a pace that feels comfortable and collaborative.
