“Jillian is by far the best therapist I‚Äôve ever had (and I‚Äôve had more than I can count). She does everything with intention and mindful care. She‚Äôs LGBTQ+/poly affirming. Her EMDR skills are mindblowing and life changing. Her gentle check ins help me assert boundaries. She easily navigates untangling old patterns so I can break free of past trauma. She heals me every session. Jillian‚Äôs therapy should be the gold standard. If the whole world could have therapy with her, there‚Äôd be no problems”

Getting to know Jillian Mayer
Hi there, I'm Jillian!
I'm an LMFT with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University, passionate about creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your story. I practice EMDR and am passionate about narrative therapy, taking a compassionate, collaborative approach to help clients process challenges, connect with their strengths, and find meaningful growth. Whether you're navigating trauma, complex emotions, difficult relationships, or a desire for deeper self-understanding, I'm here to walk alongside you.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for your unique story. I integrate Narrative Therapy to help challenge old stories and create space for new possibilities. I also utilize EMDR to process past traumatic experiences and the distress they've left behind. Together, we'll honor your strengths, foster self-compassion, and support your journey toward the life you prefer.
My focus
I work primarily with individuals navigating trauma, Complex PTSD, and addiction, as well as challenges that accompany these experiences. I also have experience working with people who identify as queer and those who practice non-monogamy. My clients often seek a comfortable space to process painful experiences and reconnect with themselves. I am passionate about supporting those stuck in cycles of shame, self-blame, or disconnection from others.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, compassionate, and grounded. I'm passionate about creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard. I aim to foster a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative, where you're free to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace and we are equal partners in the process. Working with me often feels gentle yet empowering-I'll meet you where you're at with kindness and curiosity while encouraging the meaningful change you want to make.
