Jonathan Borowiec, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jonathan!

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples managing stress, depression, anxiety, and conflict. My approach merges psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral, cognitive behavioral, and somatic therapies to help you achieve your mental health goals.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults facing trauma, family conflict, addiction, and feelings of being out-of-control or hopeless. I help clients make sense of their internal world, develop successful coping strategies, and break free of unhelpful cycles to lead more fulfilling lives.

My approach

I use an eclectic mix of modalities tailored to your goals. Through CBT and somatic therapy, I support body and mind awareness to help you understand your thoughts, emotions, and needs. I incorporate psychodynamic therapy to build awareness around unhelpful patterns and support insight into your sense of self.

My communication style

I offer a calm, thoughtful, and personable style. I create a safe environment where you can share your inner thoughts and feelings without judgment. Within this space, I reflect observations, interpretations, and suggestions for your consideration.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after joining the military and discovering my passion for helping others. I supported colleagues, volunteered with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and eventually changed careers. The satisfaction I gain from supporting others continues to drive me today.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting through ongoing collaboration. We begin by building trust and identifying general goals, then work towards specifics as we gain mutual understanding. I adjust my skills to directly support your goals throughout therapy.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy, your background, therapeutic goals, and other information to help us identify how to move forward in treatment.
