Jessica Scow, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a wide variety of experience. I specialize in treating those who struggle with addiction, trauma, and attachment wounds. I am trained to work with all ages and have specialized in working with adolescents and young adults.

My focus

I work with a diverse range of people facing various mental health struggles. This includes those suffering from depression, anxiety, psychosis, self-harming behaviors, and the effects of trauma. I also have experience supporting LGBTQIA+, including those who are transgender or gender non-conforming.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is practical, solution-focused, and relational. I believe effective work with adolescents requires a careful balance of building trust and providing concrete strategies for coping. I tailor my treatment to meet the unique needs of each individual and family.

My communication style

Building a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of my work. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. Through open and honest communication, we'll collaborate to develop coping strategies and solutions that empower you.

My journey to mental healthcare

My ultimate goal is to equip you with the tools and self-understanding needed to overcome obstacles and lead fulfilling lives. Whether addressing acute concerns or fostering long-term emotional well-being, I'm committed to supporting your unique journey toward healing and growth.

My goals for you

My journey into mental healthcare began with a deep desire to make a positive difference in the lives of those who have suffered through unjust circumstances and challenges and dare to survive and thrive. I've dedicated my career to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to help clients find the deep well of resilience that exists within.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy and begin getting to know one another. I'll gather information about your background, strengths, and challenges. We'll also collaborate to identify your therapeutic goals and develop an individualized treatment plan based on what you need and wish to accomplish in therapy.
