Jamie Franklin, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jamie!

Therapy with me is a sacred space where your comfort and vulnerability are prioritized to achieve maximum safety to explore thoughts, feelings, actions, and patterns. I am passionate about working in partnership with individuals, families, and couples who yearn for improved communication, healthier coping skills, and strengthened relationships.

My focus

I typically work with women and youth challenged by early emotional injuries, complex trauma, and SUD.

My approach

I use techniques from Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused therapy to empower clients to make desired changes.

My communication style

My communication style is inviting and curious. I practice from a space of unconditional positive regard.

My journey to mental healthcare

As an informally adopted youth, I was always on the quest for self-understanding and building trust. I have always had a natural empathy for understanding others' life experiences and how they have been woven to make people who they are at the present moment. My genuine curiosity and nonjudgmental posture have always afforded me easy to talk to.

My goals for you

I use goal-setting worksheets to collect detailed and straightforward information from clients.

Our first session

During the first session, clients can expect a warm history-collecting session and exploration of the presenting problem.
