Getting to know Jaelyn Hedges

Hi there, I'm Jaelyn! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Oklahoma. I have experience working with all types of individuals and mental health struggles, including trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, self-harm/suicidality, and more. I like to use a client-led, strength-based approach in my sessions, ultimately working to empower my clients to find solutions and healing. My approach As I mentioned, I prefer a client-centered approach, empowering my clients to make decisions regarding their treatment and needs. Some of the theories I base my approach on include Erikson's Stages of Development, Psychodynamic theory, and Humanistic theories. I believe all individuals are more than the problems they face; we are the collective sum of our experiences, beliefs, environments, motivations, relationships, and more. My focus I have the most experience working with kids, teens, young adults, and adults who present with trauma, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, oppositional defiance, ADHD/impulsivity, and self-harm/suicidal ideation. I also have experience and feel comfortable working with adults experiencing bipolar disorder, symptoms of psychosis, and substance use (or dual diagnosis). My communication style I love to create a safe and open environment for my clients. I understand how intimidating and anxiety-provoking starting therapy can be, and my goal is to make it as smooth and comfortable as possible. I prefer for my sessions to be client-led, meaning I don't follow a set schedule or structure. When clients come in, we begin with checking in, and I allow them to focus on whatever they choose for that session. I may bring some activities or helpful resources to focus on at some point, but the client controls the bulk of the session agenda.
