Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

In my therapy practice, I provide mental health services to individuals, couples, and families. I am passionate about working with preteens, teenagers, and young adults. The teenage years are some of the toughest and deserve a lot of support! Similarly, I work with young adults. I like to look at that developmental period as adult puberty. I am very passionate about working with LGBTGIA+ folks. LGBTQIA+ folks are much more at risk of mental health struggles due mostly to the oppression they face. I aim to provide affirming care and also provide gender confirmation surgery letters. I believe in using a holistic approach and looking at all the intersecting systems in an individual’s life. I also use various EBPs and modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, attachment theory, humor, and art therapy. One size does not fit all. It is my goal to find what modalities and tools work best for you!

Populations served: Jared (he/they) is a licensed psychologist and a sex-positive, poly-friendly, and kink-aware Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and his doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the Michigan School of Psychology. They currently work as the Goldblum-Carr LGBTQ+ Psychology Research Fellow at Palo Alto University and teach at the University of San Francisco’s clinical psychology doctoral program, in addition to seeing clients. Additionally, he is a board member and president-elect of the American Psychological Association’s Society for Clinical Psychology Early Career Professionals and Graduate Students Section, a board member and Policy and Government Affairs Chair of GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ+ Equality, and a certified member and mentor of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). Jared has psychotherapy experience working with adult individuals and people in relationships who struggle with identity concerns, psychosexual concerns, depression, anxiety, and OCD-spectrum disorders. He has previously worked in VA hospital, university counseling center, community, health psychology, and private practice settings. Because of Jared’s person-centered approach to each unique client’s treatment, they integrate elements of humanistic, feminist multicultural, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions. Using this framework, he tailors treatment to the needs of each client he sees. With couples and relationship therapy, their preferred treatment is emotionally focused therapy (EFT), which focuses on the attachment bond between partners and how negative relationship cycles affect the health of relationships.

I regularly help people with trauma, anxiety, attachment and relationship issues. I primarily work with adults. My regular non-insurance rate is presently $100 for sessions that run up to an hour. It is possible that your insurance company will not pay for couples counseling or more informal couples coaching, so if you are interested in working with me, and want to know about the insurance coverage, you will need to call your insurance carrier directly to ask about that and let me know of any information need from me to explore that. We can have a no-cost preliminary chat about both your therapeutic needs and financial matters before proceeding to ensure there are no surprises. I recognize that going to a therapist is usually no easy or small thing, and am happy to reduce the stress involved in that.

Working with a therapist to cultivate a life that is uniquely yours and right for you can be empowering and transformative. My approach is transcendental and trauma-informed. My role is to create a space that feels safe and nonjudgmental, providing room for you to explore issues weighing on your heart and mind. Every client is unique; we will honor your individuality by working together to finding a treatment style that suits you. I serve individuals experiencing an array of concerns, such as, depression, anxiety, racial trauma, life transitions, gender and sexuality exploration, and PTSD. I am committed to serving populations within the LGBTQ, consensually non-monogamous, kink, and sex work communities. I provide individual psychotherapy and coaching services to adults, globally, via a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. I am EMDR trained.

I offer individual, relationship, and family therapy. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, parents, and relationships. I work from an anti-racist, anti-colonial, sex-positive, health at every size, poly, queer, and trans-affirming perspective.

I am a gay and poly affirming psychotherapist and, you don't have to feel this way. Therapy can help you end the pain.

As your therapist, I hope to provide a space for ALL of you, your joy, pain, fear, courage, and compassion. I began my love of therapy first as a client working through my own lived traumas. I spent a lot of time with therapists who didn’t look or have experiences like me. I found relief, but I never felt the depth I needed to truly heal. This inspired me to become a therapist.

The world we live in now is overwhelming at times, with an overload of information, divisive news outlets, and all of that on top of the daily ins and outs of just living as a human. Identity is more complicated than it has felt before and it is getting harder for us to connect with one another. I am passionate about working alongside my clients and finding a way to reconnect with themselves and their community. I do work with individuals, however, the more people in the room, it is my belief the deeper the work we can do. Bring the whole family or your special someone whoever is important to you.

Through my own healing work and my Master of Science in Couples and Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL, I have realized that so many of our struggles originate with the expectations of society, our families, and the stories that we believe about ourselves. Identifying how this shows up for you is an important part of the process as well as deciding what stories you want to believe about yourself. We work together on making the choices you want for the change in you and your families lives.

I use Solution-Focused, Narrative, Bowen Family System and Trauma-Informed models in my healing work with a focus on Decolonial and Indigenous frameworks. I am Afro-Peruvian, European, Panamanian and I was born in the US. I am from the Inca and Moche peoples. I have lived experiences with the immigration, prison, foster care, correctional, mental health, and education systems.

I have experience working with LGBTQIA+ couples and families and have supported families through transitions. I also work with non-traditional couples and families including but not limited to same-sex, multicultural, polyamorous, and kink. I am passionate about seeing you for who you are, not for what the world might want you to be.

As a therapist, I am highly versed in working with many different polyamorous dynamics and relationship constellations. Particular specializations of mine include working with polyamory in the LGBTQIA populations, BDSM and kink identities, and developing strong, sex positive, healthy relationships. I specialize in working with Gender, Sexuality, and Sex Therapy with individuals, relationships, and families. Entwine Therapy is founded on the idea that all aspects of our lives are connected. When we are stunted or limited in one space of life, we cannot truly express ourselves in the other places, hindering us from being the most authentic version of ourselves. Equally, finding full expression and growth in challenging areas of life creates a network of personal development in other avenues. At Entwine Therapy, I focus on facilitating growth for individuals and relationships so they can gain a greater sense of equilibrium and excellence in their lives. I am dedicated to helping you build strong relationships with yourself and others, and healing fractures in healthy development that hinder achieving your own excellence. I believe that every individual’s story is unique and valuable. You are choosing to take brave step in the direction of your own growth!

They utilize an intersectional approach to their work, which considers that our identities affect the way we show up in our personal lives and in relationships. By continually considering topics of gender, sexuality, race, class, faith, disability, and other intersectional identities, Jaxx’s clients are able to bring their whole selves into therapy without fear of judgment or restriction.
