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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Sherman Oaks

Searching for therapists in Sherman Oaks starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may list specialties such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for training, approaches, and populations that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed therapy, couples therapy, or support for work-related stress.

Sherman Oaks has local therapy offices, but appointment options can vary by schedule, location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across California while still giving you access to licensed therapists who can meet from a private space that fits your routine. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe their style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.

Therapy in Sherman Oaks can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
