I am Dr. Jennifer Nevitt and I am a licensed psychologist in California. I think that clients can benefit from permanent change by using several approaches, but mostly about how we think about our situation, our future, and actually changing the way our brain is wired to get the best results using positive psychology that helps us see the world in a positive way, and respond to stress differently as soon as treatment begins. I use several approaches when providing psychotherapy. I am trained in psychodynamic, family systems, mindfulness, client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, and more.

Things aren't right. You feel like something is off, but you can't put your finger on it. Maybe your friends and family don't understand, maybe you're so isolated that you feel like you don't have friends or family anymore. You can't concentrate because something- sadness, anxiety, a relationship, loss, a substance - keeps intruding into your thinking. And you may have tried everything you can think of, but this...mood, this feeling, this thing you do that no one can know about, you just can't get over it. You want to feel better, but nothing works. You're not alone. There is help for you.

I believe childhood experiences create the template for adult life. Early losses, separations and trauma define the choices of strategies or defenses we use as adults. Pain and suffering can be caused by these early experiences. It is my job as a therapist to join my clients in their journey of discovery of these templates and help them to gain a more fulfilled life. I provide individual, couples and family counseling services in both English and Spanish in a safe, comfortable environment. My approach is tailored to each client, to meet them on their journey of discovery to finding a more fulfilled life.

My sessions are geared toward helping patients change in ways which will enhance their lives. By understanding the obstacles to change helps to build conscientious strategies which we together can employ. I am a stronge proponent of necessary out of office experiences "homework" which requires my patients to be aware of their emotional reactions which block new behaviors. In other words, greater awareness must take place outside of our sessions as well as within. I believe in handing patients the reigns to their own lives as I believe therapy must be about empowerment throughout all stages of adult life.
