Therapists in Mountain View, CA

My therapeutic style is above all relational, meaning that my relationship with my clients is of utmost importance in developing the trust needed to address life's challenges, stressors and suffering. It is in this initial rapport building where I come to know each client's particular life situation, culture, needs and goals. I have worked for over 34 years in a broad range of settings, providing services to clients over the entire life span. I hold your wellness in high regard and respect the very difficult life decisions that we all must make to have a life worth living.

I am a strong believer in one's capability to get out of their "stuck points" in life, even if the path seems to be insurmountable. Perhaps you are struggling with overwhelming stress, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts. You might be depressed and seemingly unable to feel any motivation, satisfaction or enjoyment in life. I have assisted several clients in overcoming these obstacles, and I can help you as well. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients with effective, personalized tools that will set them on the path towards healing.

Couples often face distress and struggle with communication, leading to disconnection. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help partnered, marital, or co-worker couples navigate these challenges. My name is Jennifer, but please call me Ajen. I practice Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), integrating ACT, DBT, and mindfulness skills. My approach is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and connectedness. Through telehealth, I provide accessible therapy for busy professionals in California. Together, we can build a relationship filled with acceptance, hope, and love.

I work from a client-centered and humanistic approach, which allows me to personalize the treatment to suit each individual; implementing and utilizing approaches that are best suited for and tailored to meet their needs rather than a specific therapeutic modality. I work from a Strengths-based orientation, utilizing past and current skills as well as gaining new ones to assist the client in overcoming life challenges and improving their quality of life or achieving their goals. I work with clients who have diagnoses across the board ranging from substance use, ADHD, autism, to schizophrenia.

Are you ready for a change? Do you need a better way to address personal challenges, like depression and anxiety? I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for anxiety and depression. I have powerful tools to help you gain control over your mood, help you feel better, and get rid of your anxiety. I care about my clients and believe that teaching them tools and coping skills is an empowering and effective way to help them reach their goals.

Ineffective therapy can leave clients feeling hopeless, confused, and frustrated. If you’re ready for therapy that goes beyond endless talking and leads to lasting results, I can help. I love treating clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, faith transitions, stress, weight/body image concerns, PTSD/trauma, and more. I have found that clients who see the best results are those who understand that change takes effort. Effort means confronting truths, sitting with discomfort, and doing your homework. My clients can expect to feel better, more equipped, and more empowered.

If you are between the ages of 25 and 65 and are experiencing emotional challenges in your personal or professional life, PsychRenewal is here to help.

My volunteering at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Aids Project led me to a volunteer management career. I went on to work with volunteers in a medical center, humane society, and adult literacy program. I returned to college later in life to pursue a career in counseling. My desire to become a therapist developed over time as I gained more insight into my own life. A failed marriage landed me in therapy, where I was able to deal with my anger and emotional pain. After some years of antidepressant medication and therapy, I gained a new lease on life.

You've been thinking about this for some time. Waking up to your morning alarm and automatically dreading the day. It's exhausting to put on a brave face and pretend everything is OK, while inside you can't stop criticizing and doubting yourself. How agonizing it can be when you feel compelled to obsess over conversations or the worst moments of your life and sit in that pain. And when you do try to talk to someone they try to give you advice, "look on the bright side", or to try some yoga or something. It's so isolating when it seems like no one understands, so it feels easier to just keep trying to do this all on your own.

Are you smart and successful but feel stuck for some reason? Are you trying to develop better relationships, change career paths, or achieve personal or professional excellence?

I am highly trained and devoted to helping you uncover important truths about yourself, your values, and your deepest wishes so you can maximize your personal and professional potential.

Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, communication problems within the family, families of divorce, academic stress, body image issues, or social anxiety, you are not alone. These challenges can significantly impact your well-being and relationships, but they are also opportunities for growth.

Do you feel misunderstood and confused about who you are? Or is your child struggling but you're uncertain of how to support them through their various life transitions?

We live in a busy, noisy, and messy world and it can feel overwhelming to sort through and untangle the unwanted thoughts in our minds.

With over 10 years of clinical work experience in the mental health field, my work is grounded in the belief that we are all capable of having meaningful and satisfying lives.
