Jennifer Piatt, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jennifer!

I provide an empathetic, collaborative, and non-judgmental environment where clients can navigate challenges, increase self-understanding and awareness, decrease distressing symptoms, and reach their full potential.

My focus

I provide psychotherapy to adults facing various mental health concerns or challenges in their lives. My areas of strength include mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, relationship struggles, sexual disorders, and trauma.

My approach

I utilize a client-centered approach and see therapy as a collaborative effort in which we work together as a team to tailor treatments and effectively address your specific concerns. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, EMDR, Behavior Therapy, Strength-Based and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

My communication style

My communication style includes active listening and reflection, which helps my clients to feel validated and comfortable freely expressing themselves. I offer a compassionate and welcoming space and aim to foster a genuine connection and empower clients in self-discovery and reaching their goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since childhood, I have enjoyed helping and uplifting others. Growing up in an unstable environment, I learned the value of therapy in my healing journey. I wanted to assist people on a deeper level by understanding their experiences, which led me to pursue a career with a mental health focus.

My goals for you

I will work with you to set realistic and relevant goals based on what you hope to achieve through therapy. I enjoy utilizing the SMART Approach as we set measurable objectives for both short and long term. I will provide ongoing support, encouragement, and gentle guidance as you work towards your goals.

Our first session

During the first visit, clients can expect a welcoming and warm environment where we get to know one another. We will explore what brought you to therapy and what you are hoping to get from our sessions.
