Dr. Jaronda Session
Hello! I'm Dr. Jaronda Session, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Doctor of Social Work supporting clients across California and Arizona. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges, heal from trauma, and build secure relationships.
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help you unlock triggers, make sense of complex emotions and needs, untangle disharmony, and overcome relational disconnection.
My approach is warm, culturally responsive, and deeply collaborative—together, we will work to transform negative patterns into lasting resilience and a more confident sense of self.
First session
In your first session, my main priority is providing a warm, welcoming environment where you feel entirely safe sharing your story. Think of this as a low-pressure conversation to help us lay the foundation for your healing. Here is what you can expect: A Safe Space to Share: We will discuss what brought you to therapy and any immediate challenges or stress you are currently navigating. Exploring Your Story: I will ask gentle questions about your background, relationships, and emotional experiences to better understand your unique situation. Mapping a Path Forward: Together, we will begin identifying the patterns that may be affecting your well-being and establish clear goals for our work. By the end of our first session, we will have a shared understanding of your emotional needs and the areas we will focus on. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, supported, and equipped with a sense of direction and hope for the journey ahead.
Strengths
As a provider, my greatest strength is my ability to create a profoundly safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space. Whether you are seeing me through Grow Therapy or Cocoa Cup Therapy, Inc., my practice is rooted in mutual trust, respect, and honesty. I am deeply committed to understanding and addressing your unique emotional needs. My true passion—my jam—is helping clients crack the code of love and connection. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help you unlock triggers, make sense of complex emotions and needs, untangle disharmony, and overcome relational disconnection. Together, we will step out of negative cycles and journey toward healing attachment wounds. My extensive experience working with diverse cultural groups ensures that clients from all backgrounds feel genuinely seen and understood. Paired with my Doctor of Social Work (DSW) in Clinical Leadership and Practice Innovation, I bring both advanced clinical expertise and authentic human warmth to empower you in achieving meaningful, lasting change.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve individuals, couples, and families who are seeking to improve their emotional well-being and build resilience in the face of life's challenges. My practice is an especially great fit if you are: Navigating Deep Challenges: Dealing with prolonged stress, intergenerational trauma, or feeling stuck in negative patterns and insecurities. Seeking Relational Healing: A couple looking to strengthen your emotional connection, or a family navigating complex, untangled dynamics. Ready for Growth: Open to exploring your emotional needs and committed to engaging in a therapeutic process that fosters true healing. With extensive experience working across diverse cultural backgrounds and educational levels, I tailor my Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach to meet your unique needs.
