Jessica Madrid, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

I strive to establish a positive therapeutic environment that is client-centered, safe, and nonjudgmental—a space where you feel supported. I provide trauma-informed care and work with individuals facing a wide range of life challenges.

My focus

I have had the privilege of working with clients of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Those whom I have served have suffered from chronic pain, chronic illness, post-partum depression, diversity issues, and trauma, as well as those in need of crisis support and community resourcing.

My approach

I employ a strength-based and solution-focused approach while integrating various therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, self-empowerment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), skill-building interventions, psychoeducation, and narrative theory.

My communication style

My communication style is empathetic, warm, and nonjudgmental. During sessions, I focus on being present with you and creating a space where you feel seen and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I believe in affirming the dignity and worth of each individual.

My goals for you

You will gain insight and awareness into your challenges to establish clear goals and develop healthy boundaries. Together, we'll create a toolbox of coping skills and strategies that can establish positive and lasting changes in your life.

Our first session

During the initial session, I strive to gain an understanding of what my client is seeking to gain from therapy. In this first meeting, my client will feel comfortable and engaged in therapy. Together, we will create a shared understanding of just what to expect from therapy.
