Life can feel overwhelming — thoughts that won't quiet down, family tension that keeps building, or past experiences continue to dictate your present days. Whether you're an individual carrying something heavy, a couple trying to find your way back to each other, or a family navigating a moment that feels too big to face alone, you don't have to keep pushing through without support. I provide a safe space where your culture, your story, and your language are deeply valued. I bring a grounded, tenacious approach to my clinical work utilizing specialized, evidence- based tools to help with processing heavy burdens. Healing is possible and it can start here, so let's walk this path together.
Hello,
I am Dr. Jaeger and I welcome you to my practice. I look forward to sitting with you, hearing your story, and developing a plan to help you with your concerns and needs.
I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.
My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.
I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.
What clients should know before starting
Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.
If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.
Provides services from holistic and spiritual lens in addition to a cognitive behavioral approach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Jose
Finding a postpartum therapist in San Jose starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common concerns new parents face, but perinatal mental health also includes challenges like adjusting to parenthood, birth-related stress, relationship changes, and difficulty bonding with your baby. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, or psychologist — who has specific training or experience in perinatal mental health care. Some providers hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which signals specialized expertise.
With a large number of mental health providers practicing across San Jose, Campbell, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and the broader South Bay, narrowing your search can feel like one more task on an already full plate. Consider what matters most: a provider who offers virtual sessions you can attend during nap time, someone who speaks your language, or a therapist whose approach matches your preferences. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and specialties before you commit.
Therapy in the San Jose area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
