Jami Rieffel, LMFT

Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.

"You aren’t defined by your past—you are the author of what comes next."

Life can often feel like a story we no longer want to be in. Whether you are navigating the complexities of anxiety, trauma, or the unique pressures of adolescence, I am here to help you rewrite the narrative. My approach is rooted in Systems Theory and Solution-Focused Therapy, meaning we look at the big picture of your life while building practical tools for immediate growth.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to create a space that is warm, welcoming, and entirely yours. Together, we will turn "feeling stuck" into a journey of empowerment. I’m a proud graduate of the University of West GA and National University, and I’m ready to help you start your next chapter
