Jonathan Laski

Therapist

Virtual • California


As a Christian therapist, I walk with clients to strengthen and support them in learning self compassion, understanding their worth, finding insight and living wisely. I have studied psychology and marriage and family therapy for over 13 years and have been in practice as a therapist for 7 of those years. I have intentionally learned and applied principles and practices which help clients sustain growth from hurts, unprocessed feelings and lack of direction toward more energy, enjoyment and purposefulness in life again.

I look forward to consulting with you to see if our therapeutic work would fit with you!

Therapist

I offer a warm, supportive space to pause, reflect, and grow. My approach is integrative and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to meet your needs. If you choose, we can incorporate Christian values, scripture, and prayer into your healing process.

I predominantly work with Christian females and also see males and non-faith-based clients. We'll create a space where both your emotional and spiritual life are honored. Whether you want to process difficult emotions, build healthier coping strategies, or reconnect with your identity and purpose, I'll meet you with empathy and evidence-based tools.
