Jessica Parmar, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

I provide individual therapy to adults and teens. Creating a space where you can be yourself- openly and without judgment- is important to me. Together, we will work toward meaningful change at your own pace.

My focus

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the impact of trauma and grief/loss. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. I’m especially mindful of how culture, family, and intergenerational experiences shape how we see ourselves and relate to others.

My approach

My approach is centered on building a genuine, trusting relationship, and I use a variety of evidence based practices to help my clients reach their goals. I primarily use CBT and Psychodynamic to help you build insight, understand patterns, and develop practical skills.

My communication style

I’m warm and supportive, while also thoughtful and direct. I will challenge you when it helps support your growth. I balance insight building with practical tools, which means that I help clients process their experiences but also learn clear strategies to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and navigate their relationships more effectively.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’ve always been drawn to helping others. I’ve seen how painful experiences can shape our lives, as well as the resilience people carry and their capacity to heal and grow. I care deeply about supporting clients as they build on their strengths and move toward meaningful change.

My goals for you

We work together to identify what matters most to you and what you’re hoping to achieve. I meet you where you are and help guide and support you towards the changes you want.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk through what’s bringing you in. You can expect a calm, supportive space where you don’t need to have everything figured out. We’ll begin to explore what’s been going on, answer any questions, and discuss what might feel helpful moving forward.
