About

Hi there, I'm Jeannine! My name is Jeannine Colwell and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist ( LMFT) based in San Diego, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with teens, adults, law enforcement, military, and veterans and specialize in anxiety, depression, anger management, substance use addiction, sports, coaching, etc. using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, coping skills, coaching, to help my clients make progress and start feeling awesome again. My focus is all about you and meeting you where you are at! Looking forward to meeting you! My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-focused Therapy, as both modalities help the client and myself build a shared understanding of their reality and allow us to work together to create their own path! My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for teens, and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life, transitions, social pressures, sports, moving from place to place, looking to find the right career path, and needing motivation. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and substance use addiction. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is calm, happy and positive, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I take pride in my ability to listen without judgment. I'm real! I won't candy coat anything. I'm here to help! This is my passion! My journey to mental healthcare My adventure in becoming a therapist started with my passion for helping others. This was not always my path, to be honest,
