Jamie Humphrey

Hello and welcome! My name is Jamie Humphrey and I am a therapist and licensed clinical social worker located in the San Jose area. I have specialized in therapy for teens and adults seeking help with trauma, eating disorders and life transitions for over a decade. I also work frequently with perinatal challenges, siblings of those with special needs and Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work from USC with specializations in Mental Health and Systems of Recovery and have post-graduate training in EMDR, trauma recovery and eating disorders. I absolutely love my job and am honored by every person who trusts me to be a part of their healing process.

So many of us come to therapy after being let down or hurt by others. There is so much healing that can happen in the context of a safe relationship, and I strongly believe that includes the therapeutic relationship. In addition to relational talk therapy, I use EMDR, somatic (body-based) interventions, and parts work to help you shift into new ways of living in your mind, body and environment. When requested or needed, I also provide ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), CBT and DBT, which can help you change behaviors that are causing you distress, cope in healthier ways and shift your mood state for the better.

I know how intimidating it can be when you want to talk to someone but aren’t sure what to expect. While what happens in a therapy session looks a little different from person to person, just know I’ll always show up compassionate and curious, because that's who I am.

I don’t find blank slate therapy helpful so you won’t find that here. You will find validation, choices about your therapy process, deep empathy and healing, and maybe a laugh or two when the time is right. Therapy in its most healing form is also about real human connection, so that’s what I strive for.

If your insurance company is not in-network, please feel free to reach out to me about private pay options. I am happy to offer a sliding scale rate if you would like to work with me and need a reduced rate to do so. For more information about me and my practice, please visit jamiehumphreytherapy.com.
