Hi there! My name is Jessica Parmar and I am a therapist who works with adults, teens, and families. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a teacher, which continues to shape how I connect, support, and engage with clients. I’m warm, approachable, and genuine, and I care deeply about the work we do together. I’ll meet you at your pace, but I’m not afraid to challenge you when it supports your growth.
An MSW graduate from California State University, Long Beach, I am a licensed clinical social worker who has over 25 years serving clients in my private practice. I enjoy helping individuals and families navigate their life transitions and challenges to restore their health, well-being, and purpose. My clinical expertise include women's health, perinatal mental health, education/career transitions, psycho-oncology, family systems, military and veterans, and grief/loss.
I’m a California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and have a certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). Before I was a therapist, I worked as a preschool teacher. I was drawn to clinical work because of the struggles that I observed in the families of the children in my classrooms. During my clinical training, I worked primarily with couples, teens, and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Though I love working with children, I am passionate about my work with adults because healthy, supported, and self-compassionate adults are the key to health for future generations.
One of my joys in life is making a positive difference in my client's lives. Maybe you’ve tried everything; talking to friends/family, reading self-help books, ignoring the problem hoping it will go away, or just accepting how things are and yet you are feeling unhappy and stuck. I believe there is hope for you, a life filled with love, fulfillment and fun. I've had a variety of life experiences (good, not so good) that's given me wisdom and insights about people/life. I work with couples, women/men issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD. I'll travel with you on your journey of healing/growth with understanding and compassion.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in South Pasadena
Finding the right therapist in South Pasadena starts with getting clear on what you need. Consider whether you're looking for support with a specific concern like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges, or whether you'd benefit from a broader approach. Licensed therapists (such as LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCs, and psychologists) each bring different training and perspectives, so reviewing a provider's bio and areas of focus can help you narrow your search.
South Pasadena is part of the broader Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley area, where hundreds of therapists practice both in-person and virtually. Practical factors matter too: look for a provider whose schedule aligns with yours, who offers the session format you prefer, and who you feel comfortable speaking with. Many providers offer a free phone consultation so you can get a sense of their style before booking your first session.
Therapy in the greater Los Angeles area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their coverage.
