Jade Dearing

Jade Dearing

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Westlake Village, CA


Trauma-Informed. I specialize in treating adults with unresolved childhood traumas / C-PTSD. I deeply understand how early life experiences shape present-day struggles—I specialize in helping people heal from those roots, not just manage surface-level symptoms.

I am trained in powerful, evidence-based and experiential modalities like EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Not one-size-fits-all—I tailor treatment to each individual’s nervous system, attachment patterns, and inner world.

Most importantly, I show up as a therapist: I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients can be fully seen, heard, and validated. I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and I meet clients with compassion, patience, and respect for their pace.

I am committed to helping clients work through inner emotional conflicts so they can move toward a more stable, fulfilling, and connected life—not just symptom relief, but real, lasting transformation.

Jill Groves

Jill Groves

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Hermosa Beach, CA


Hi, I'm Jill. I have been a licensed therapist since 2012. In the last 13 years I have worked in many settings, including a treatment center, hospital, school, and outpatient practice. In that time, I have learned a lot about the challenges we face as humans. But most importantly I have learned that in addition to coping with life's sttuggles, we also need to find purpose and meaning in these experiences moving forward.

My goal as a therapist is to be authentic, kind, and committed to your wellbeing. I strive to provide a space where you feel comfortable being honest with yourself and with me.

Shane Bulkley

Shane Bulkley

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Valencia, CA


I have 19 years experience working in the field of social work with many different populations. I have found that the clients that find the greatest success are those that have a desire to change and are willing to put in the work. I love seeing the amazing healing power that can come when clients overcome difficulties. Meeting with clients on their first intake assessment and then sitting with them as they work and grow on their journey towards happiness in this life is why I came into this field of Social Work.

My years of experience working with children and teens has allowed me to connect and empathize with them on a very deep level. I have 5 years working in child welfare completing interviews with children and parents, providing crisis intervention for families and teaming with community resources to develop plans to address issues that brought them to this point and how they can utilize their resources to make improvements and find joy as a family.
