Jason Edward Bernardo

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) providing therapy to adults throughout California via secure telehealth and in-person sessions. I have experience working across private practice, community mental health, and outpatient settings, helping individuals navigate a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, stress, anger management concerns, and emotional dysregulation. I also have experience supporting individuals struggling with identity concerns, family conflict, and difficulties related to interpersonal relationships.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Compassion focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and trauma-informed care to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

During our first session, clients can expect a supportive and collaborative where they are encouraged to share their concerns at a pace that feels comfortable for them. The initial session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss what has brought you to therapy, and explore the challenges, symptoms, or life circumstances you are currently experiencing.
