Jesenia Gil, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jesenia!

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, parenting, and more. I utilize an empathic, collaborative, and integrative approach tailored to each client's needs.

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I specialize in working with individuals with symptoms of anxiety, depression, life stressors, transitions, issues with parenting, family conflict, and relationship/peer issues.

My approach

I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Multicultural/Culturally-informed Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strength-Based Therapy.

My communication style

My goal is to provide a warm and non-judgmental space where we can work collaboratively toward decreasing your symptoms and improving your quality of life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my career working with the bilingual population, including children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I am a natural empath and enjoy helping others. Before I became a therapist, I worked with children and families involved in juvenile dependency.

My goals for you

Together, we'll work to develop goals and strategies that work for you to reduce your symptoms.

Our first session

Your first session is about getting to know you, what brings you to therapy, and how your symptoms are affecting your day-to-day functioning in all aspects of your life. The overarching goal would be to identify your wants and desires for our work together.
