Maya Jackson, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Maya!

I work with individuals seeking support with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, relationship issues, and BIPOC/social justice concerns. I create safe, non-judgmental spaces where you can freely express yourself and work toward meaningful change.

My focus

I find my clinical areas of expertise align with individuals who are seeking support with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, relationship issues, and BIPOC/social justice issues.

My approach

I draw from strength-based and solution-focused interventions, motivational interviewing, CBT, and DBT. My approach centers on your strengths and what's already working in your life, while building practical skills to address the challenges you're facing.

My communication style

I approach therapy from a strength-based perspective, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to freely express yourself. You can expect warmth, collaboration, and genuine support as we work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career in program management in South Los Angeles, where a colleague encouraged me to pursue social work. I've worked in residential substance use programs, psychiatric settings, and crisis evaluation, which deepened my commitment to supporting people through their most challenging moments.

My goals for you

I believe you have full autonomy over your treatment. We'll collaboratively set goals that reflect what matters most to you, and I'll support you in achieving them at a pace that feels right.

Our first session

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and discuss your goals for therapy. We'll talk about what brings you in and what you hope to gain from our work together.
