Getting to know Jody Balboa

Hi there, I'm Jody! My focus as a therapist is always on providing a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment for my clients to be seen, heard, and understood. I truly believe that self-knowledge and self-awareness are the most powerful gifts we can give ourselves. My practice intersects traditional clinical training as a licensed psychotherapist with mindfulness-based interventions and a mind-body-spirit-centered approach. I hold a Master's in Psychology from Chapman University, which grounds my work in solid clinical expertise. My approach We will use a variety of methods to find a resolution for your emotional pain. You will encounter techniques from psychodynamics, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Rational Recovery, and psycho-education, among other methods available. I draw from a wealth of experience in various psychiatric settings to personalize our response to your stress. My focus I work with individuals to treat anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, grief and loss, stress management, and other mental health concerns. I view my role as helping clients deepen their understanding of themselves and others in order to move toward a life that feels more authentic and valuable to them. My communication style My aim is to empower you to access the healer within, to uncover and shift harmful patterns so you can live a more meaningful, authentic, and joyous life. I work from an integrative and holistic place, meaning all parts of ourselves are welcome: mind, body, and spirit. I bring my warmth and dedication to every session.
