Getting to know Jessica Paden

Hi there, I'm Jessica! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. I work particularly well with smart, intense people who have untapped potential. This untapped potential often stems from relational wounding and/or pervasive emotional and mood difficulties. Together, we will work to help you reconnect to your sense of vitality, belonging, and purpose. My approach My most utilized therapeutic modalities are psychodynamic, somatic, and attachment-based. I often draw on acceptance, compassion, and mindfulness as resources, and find parts work (IFS) especially conducive to healing younger or exiled "parts." I strive to balance grounding in clinically sound practices with employing more intuitive or spirit-based methods when appropriate. My focus I specialize in working with adults and children of parents with personality disorders and other mental health challenges. I also support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and premarital and marital therapy. I understand how difficult it can be to feel stuck or like you are not enough. Relational trauma can leave you questioning your worth and struggling to connect with others. Your experiences and feelings matter, even if they have been dismissed in the past. Together, we can explore and heal these wounds. My communication style I create a safe space that promotes curiosity, depth, and compassion. My approach is relational. Together, we'll explore the dynamics between us as therapist and client, as well as your patterns in other relationships. This process fosters personal growth, enhances communication, and cultivates more authentic, fulfilling connections in your life. I believe in the healing power of self-compassion while acknowledging how uncomfortable or frustrating that idea can feel. I embrace this inner conflict in my work, recognizing that many healthy habits take time to accept and practice.
