Jean-Frederic Aboudarham

My communication style

I'm natural and personable. You'll call me Jean-Frederic, and at times it will feel like I'm your coach. I create a warm, collaborative space where you feel heard and supported as we work together toward your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

After a career in software engineering focused on optimization, I realized psychotherapy is the optimization of the human condition. Helping people grow and create lives they enjoy became my calling and remains the most rewarding work I can imagine.

My goals for you

I'll listen to your presenting problem and suggest therapy objectives, but you choose the issues and goals. If your intentions don't align with my values or skills, I'll let you know and suggest a referral. Rest assured, I'm quite open-minded.

Our first session

We'll get acquainted and discuss what brings you here. I'll answer any upfront questions you have. We'll evaluate our fit together, as I'm not the best therapist for every client. If it feels right after thirty minutes, we'll explore your history and therapy goals.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
