Jennifer Nascimento
My name is Jennifer "Jenny" Nascimento, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California and working with clients Statewide via telehealth. I received my Masters from CBU. I work with adults and teenagers 14+ and specialize in anxiety, depression, attachment trauma, emotional neglect, and relationship issues, using an integrative approach to therapy. I collaboratively work with my clients and help them in their progress toward healing and growth.
First session
The first session is about building an initial connection and talking about where the client is at, what has brought them to therapy, and where they want to land. We'll start with brief introductions and intake of some personal history, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a personalized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
I am welcoming, warm, and nurturing. I want my clients to feel comfortable, seen, and heard without judgment, and feel they can talk to me about anything they choose.
Ideal clients
I love working with individuals and couples in assisting them with learning new skills and acquiring the tools needed to make their goal a reality.
Treatment methods
Integrative
My style and approach are flexible, and individual with each client I work with. I most frequently use an integrative approach (Client-Centered, Trauma Focused, Attachment-Based, CBT, and others) to help me and my client build an environment that feels safe, supportive, and empathic. This allows us to work together toward meaningful change on their path forward. My style and approach work well with adults and teenagers. Challenges in life and life transitions are with us all, no matter your age. Pressures, transitions, loss, and trauma can come from social experiences, work relations and experiences, one's health, and from home, which often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and relational issues. I work to help my clients build self-awareness and skills, improve relationships, to allow them to feel better about themselves by tapping into their strengths and abilities, creating autonomy.
