“Jeffrey has been what I can imagine is a model therapist. He's been very helpful with me and I can see he tries to understand how I think and is able to create a dialogue that is very compatible with me. He would ask very simple questions but in such a way that makes me think differently than I normally would”

Getting to know Jeffrey Kishner
Hi there, I'm Jeffrey!
Hi, I'm Jeffrey Kishner, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in addressing challenges related to sex, relationships, diverse identities, and sexual/relational practices such as LGBTQ, kink, and polyamory. Through a collaborative approach, I empower clients to navigate feelings, confront self-limiting beliefs, and align their lives with their values without dictating solutions.
My approach
In my therapeutic approach, I mainly utilize client-centered methods, elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), relational psychodynamics, and mindfulness techniques. I tailor my approach to fit the individual needs of each client, providing a supportive environment to explore their emotions, behaviors, and belief systems.
My focus
The majority of my clients are young adults who seek help with issues related to sex or relationships, including relationship ambivalence. I'm skilled in discussing various aspects of sexuality, including performance issues and kink dynamics. I also treat mood disorders like anxiety and depression. Striving for cultural competence, I'm open and prepared to discuss race with clients of color.
My communication style
My communication style is relaxed yet engaged. I believe in creating a safe space where clients can express themselves openly and explore their concerns. I view it as the client's responsibility to introduce topics for exploration, while I serve as a guide, posing probing questions and reflecting on their feelings.
My journey to therapy
I started my journey as a therapist during my freshman year in college, serving as a peer counselor. After periods of studying cognitive psychology and working in digital media, I realized my true calling was to directly and positively impact people's lives through counseling. I earned my Master's in Counseling from the California Institute of Integral Studies, which deepened my skills and commitment to this work.
