Getting to know Jenna Barnes

Hi there, I'm Jenna! Hi, my name is Jenna and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I am dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and families in overcoming the hurdles of conflict, fostering self-esteem, and navigating the unique experiences within the LGBTQ community. My approach I use a client-centered approach to create a safe and collaborative therapeutic space, adapting interventions to meet each client's unique needs. For children, adolescents, and families, I incorporate EMDR to help process trauma and reduce distress, blending it with Trauma-Focused CBT to strengthen coping skills and resilience. With younger clients, sand play and play therapy offer expressive, non-verbal ways to explore emotions and experiences. Grounded in attachment theory, I work to strengthen relationships and build secure connections, while using Functional Family Therapy (FFT) to improve family dynamics and communication. This multi-faceted approach ensures each client receives comprehensive, individualized support. My focus I work with children, teens, parents, and families navigating challenges related to LGBTQ+ identity, self-esteem, conflict, and trauma. I create an affirming, client-centered space where clients feel safe and understood. I'm comfortable treating trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and relational difficulties, using EMDR, TF-CBT, and family-focused therapies to help clients process experiences, improve communication, and build healthier relationships. My communication style My goal as a therapist is simple yet profound: to guide you toward a comfortable and safe environment where you can explore your inner world, promote self-discovery, and nurture personal growth. A successful therapeutic journey is built on honesty and openness. This is a safe space where you can freely express yourself, share your thoughts and feelings, and be your true, authentic self.
