Jacqueline Kurta, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jacqueline!

I support individuals and families through times of growth, challenge, and transition. My work emphasizes collaboration, resilience, and the unique strengths each client brings. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress management, substance use and addictive behaviors, and college student and young adult mental health.

My focus

I work with college students, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, addictive behaviors, and life transitions. I'm dedicated to creating a space where clients feel heard and empowered to explore change.

My approach

I use a collaborative, strengths-based, culturally responsive, and harm reduction approach tailored to each individual's needs. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and mindfulness-informed practices, I help clients explore change at their own pace in a safe, supportive space.

My communication style

I create a collaborative and non-judgmental environment where I offer opportunities to explore your experiences as an empathetic partner and fellow traveler on your journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life's hardest challenges. I continue to find deep connections with young adults and families.

My goals for you

I approach therapy as a fellow traveler on your journey. We will work together to identify and set goals that matter to you. We can adapt our plan along the way to ensure it's meaningful and relevant.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy at this time. We will take it one step at a time. Therapy is a process, and we'll continue to build our work together over time.
