Jane Maurer, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jane!

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and loss. Through strength-based techniques and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I help you identify goals and make progress toward improvements in your overall quality of life.

My focus

I focus on adults struggling with depression, generalized anxiety, and adjustment disorders. My approach works well with various backgrounds, including individuals who have reservations or bad experiences with therapy. I recognize past experiences may make you hesitant, but I'm hopeful we can create a different experience.

My approach

My approach varies based on your needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and strength-based methods to better understand your history, goals, and path forward.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and inquisitive in a non-judgmental way. If you prefer direct feedback, we can explore that through a strength-based focus. It's important to me that you feel comfortable sharing and getting the most out of our sessions. I communicate to help create a safe space for you.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is about working together to define what you want to accomplish. This often starts by building trust and getting comfortable with therapy. Over time, we reflect on these goals and the progress made.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about what brought you to therapy and how you've been feeling recently. I'll ask questions to get to know you and any goals you may have. Don't worry if you don't have goals yet—we'll work on that together. The first session is about building connection and clarifying our next steps.
