Jenna Smith-Soper

Hi there, I'm Jenna!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Diego, California. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Individual Therapy to support my clients in understanding their thoughts, emotions, and attachment wounds in order to heal and grow.

My focus

My approach has been compatible with teenagers and young adults as I tend to take a direct, honest approach while also using humor and genuine care. I have experience working with adolescents in high-crisis environments and long-term care, often presenting with depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, anger, and stress.

My approach

My approach to therapy depends on the needs and goals of each individual client. I use Solution-Focused Therapy for clients who want to build skills to manage symptoms and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for clients who want to build insight and self-awareness. These approaches combine to support clients in becoming their most authentic selves.
