My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.

"The function of a psychotherapist is to become obsolete as soon as possible." That quote is from my own psychotherapist and mentor, years ago, and it's the model and motto of my practice. There are, of course, exceptions, including couples or individuals who return for a "tune up" once in a while and others who call me in as co-strategist when some new turbulence hits. Another exception is my work with schizophrenic spectrum patients, who need a long-term connection with consensus reality from wherever they happen to be stuck "on the other side of the mirror".

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.
