Jennifer Adderly
About me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 15 years of experience. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and take an empathetic approach to building strong client relationships, fostering personal growth, and promoting healing. My experience ranges from working with individuals facing severe mental health challenges to those navigating life events for the first time.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll take time to introduce ourselves and explore what has brought you to therapy. You'll have the opportunity to discuss any challenges you're facing and what you hope to gain from the process. I may also ask about your personal history, relationships, mental health background, and other relevant life experiences to better understand your situation.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have extensive experience supporting individuals with severe mental illness, as well as those who simply need a compassionate listener to validate their experiences. My approach is collaborative, working alongside my clients to support their needs.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
The ideal client is someone who appreciates diverse perspectives and proactively experiments with new approaches to evaluate them. Embracing vulnerability is essential for growth and connection.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. The core idea behind CBT is that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected, and changing negative thoughts can lead to changes in feelings and behaviors.
Narrative
In Narrative Therapy, I work with the individual to explore how they see themselves and the world, and how certain life events or challenges are framed within their personal narrative. The goal is to help people reframe or "rewrite" their stories in ways that empower them, giving them more control over their life and circumstances.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a type of therapy that focuses on finding solutions to current problems rather than delving deeply into past issues. It's a goal-oriented and future-focused approach that aims to help individuals quickly identify and build on their existing strengths and resources to address challenges.
Integrative
The main idea behind integrative therapy is that no single therapeutic approach is best for everyone. People are complex, and their challenges might require different strategies. By drawing from multiple therapeutic models, integrative therapy tailors the process to address the unique combination of emotional, psychological, and life circumstances a person is facing.

When I first met Jennifer I was in a very shaky and sad place. She has helped me work through so many things - old and new - and I always felt like I had not just an ally but a teacher and an unwavering pillar of support.
