Getting to know Jennifer McAllister

Hi there, I'm Jennifer! My name is Jennifer McAllister. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Psychology from Chapman University. I use a client-centered approach to therapy to treat a variety of interpersonal problems and mental health disorders. My approach I most commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address client issues. I also incorporate elements from various approaches, such as solution-focused therapy and Gottman couples interventions, to help clients achieve their goals. My focus I have experience working with individuals struggling with mild, moderate, and severe mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring substance use disorders. I also provide couples counseling and support for other interpersonal and life challenges. Upon request, I offer counseling from a Christian perspective. My communication style I create a comfortable, non-judgmental, and welcoming atmosphere where clients feel safe sharing whatever is on their minds. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been drawn to helping people and have a deep love for psychology. After earning my bachelor's degree in Psychology, I chose to pursue a career change by earning my Master's degree in Psychology at Chapman University to become a therapist and help others become who they are meant to be. My goals for you Once we understand the problem, we will work together to develop goals and track your progress. My approach to goal setting is collaborative, focusing on what you want to accomplish during our time together. My first session with you During our first session, we will get to know each other. I will seek to understand the problem that brought you into treatment, including its history and contributing factors.
