If trauma is still running your life, OCD has you trapped in cycles you can't break, or depression has left you feeling numb, stuck, and disconnected from the life you used to want—I want you to know: this can change, and you don't have to face it alone.

My path to this work started with my own mental health journey. I know what it feels like to struggle from the inside—and I know how life-changing the right support can be. That's exactly why I bring deep empathy, zero judgment, and evidence-based tools designed to create real, lasting change—not just coping, but building a life that feels like yours again.

Therapist

I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults (ADHD, autism), LGBTQIA individuals, and those navigating chronic illness, burnout, and perimenopause or menopause. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like nothing they’ve tried has worked.

You might feel like you’re constantly “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, or like simple things take more energy than they should. That’s not a personal failure—it’s a sign that your brain and body need different kinds of support.

With over twelve years of experience, I offer therapy that is warm, affirming, and practical. I help clients reduce overwhelm, build coping tools that actually work, and better understand how their brain and body function.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you build a life that works for you.

Jennifer Barrios

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi! I’m Jennifer Barrios, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with a master’s degree from USC and nearly a decade of experience in mental health. My journey began in community mental health, where I provided support to individuals and families facing complex challenges. Now, I’ve transitioned into full-time private practice, where I continue my passion for helping others heal and grow.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel totally seen and heard while working through life’s ups and downs. Whether you're dealing with anxiety (like constant worry or panic attacks), feeling stuck, struggling with self-esteem, working through past trauma, or facing depression (like feeling low energy or withdrawing from others), I’m here to help you reconnect with the real you. My approach is super chill and personalized because I know healing looks different for everyone.
