About

Hi there, I'm Jacquie! My name is Jacquie Josephson, PsyD (PSY24070) and I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California. I provide psychotherapy with a client-centered approach, meaning that my work is a collaborative process where my client's expressed goals are the guide for their treatment. I work with individuals who struggle with symptoms that are related to depression, anxiety, and trauma which include things like self esteem issues, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and substance abuse. My approach I utilize a few different approaches to therapy including psychodynamic, relational, EMDR, internal family systems, somatic, and mindfulness. All of this to say that I find knowing an individuals background to be an important part to understanding current struggles while also focusing on the individuals strengths/coping strategies to assist the individual get to know themselves better and facilitate growth. My focus I work best with individuals who are motivated and have some ability to self reflect. I am comfortable treating people who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, decreased self esteem, loneliness, substance abuse, and those who are feeling lost and needing/wanting to reconnect with themselves and their life in a more meaningful and engaged way. My communication style My intention is to create a safe place for an individual to slow down and take a closer look at what is causing pain and struggle in their life. I find it helpful to ask questions about the individual and their history to get a clear understanding of how they found themselves in this place then ask clarifying questions along the way. My communication style is largely inquisitive and will bring in some more directive pieces when necessary or when requested. I want to create a space where the individual feels comfortable exploring their internal landscape and emotions.
