Jahvon Pierre

Hi, I’m Jahvon (juh-von) Pierre or you can call me "Jae". I graduated from Cal State University, East Bay in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and in 2020, I earned my Master of Science in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University. I have an extensive history in psychology and human development and I have been practicing for a little over 7 years. I've always loved people and each individual's unique offering to this world, even if it's just a song, a hobby or a 50+ minute session.

Having worked with clients of all ages for the past 7 years, I’ve found particular joy in working with teenagers, who often bring their authentic selves into the therapeutic space almost immediately, though most of my work is with young to older adults whom I am also passionate about working with. I pride myself on creating a nonjudgmental, caring, and warm environment where all of my clients feel safe and supported. My approachable and easygoing nature helps clients open up, fostering genuine connection and meaningful growth.

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and then explore a bit about the history of your life, beginning with the question, "Why therapy and why now?" This will help me understand the challenges you're facing and what brought you to this point, so we can create a tailored plan to guide our work in future sessions. This structure will not feel super pressed and neat, rather warm and at a natural flow. Rest assured, you will not be pressured to divulge your darkest secrets simply because I'm a therapist. Rather, my main focus is building trust and connection together.
