Jennifer Macias

My communication style

I maintain a calm and respectful tone and try to create a setting that feels non-judgmental, empathetic, and even humorous as we unpack the complexities of life. Clients of various circumstances and backgrounds have found me to be comforting and trustworthy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always wanted to help others. I completed my undergrad in Sociology and Women's Studies at UC Riverside. I decided to go on to USC, where I completed my Master of Social Work degree. I worked as a social worker for over 10 years and also practiced my clinical skills as a therapist in hopes of providing essential services to those in need.

My goals for you

Just like my approach to therapy, this is also tailored to your individual needs. I believe in setting goals that align with you and where you are at. I practice goal setting in a non-judgemental collaborative way. I like to start small and obtainable and build as you grow.

Our first session

During the first session, we will go over the crucial information, such as expectations, so that we can be sure that we are gaining comfort and have mutual understanding. Mostly, we will get to know each other a bit, we'll talk about what primary issue brings you to therapy, and what you would like to get out of therapy.

I identify as...

• Female, Non-binary, Gender fluid
