Hello and Welcome! Hola y Bienvenido! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish). In life, many of us experience a series of events either positive or negative. Such events impact us the way we respond to life circumstances, the way we view ourselves, and the world around us. I want to help you overcome the trauma and help you regain back your strength and power. Through our therapeutic relationship, we will work together to heal from your past and/or current stressors that are affecting you. We will work towards identifying triggers, self-insight work, self-awareness, acquiring healthy coping skills, and decreasing symptoms. I specialized in working with tweens/adolescents, adults, and older adults from all different backgrounds, many of whom have experienced various traumas in their lives. Whatever your needs may be or reasons for seeking therapy, I am here for you.

Christopher Jain

Therapist

Virtual • California


Born and raised in the Bay Area, I arrived at the decision to pursue a profession in therapy after 12 years of teaching elementary school. I quickly realized that the emotional health and home lives of my students were impossible to separate from the classroom. I now work with individual adults of all ages on trauma processing (using EMDR), relational issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the many ailments that come from both “big T” and “little t” trauma.

After earning my B.A. at Colorado College and teaching in Aurora, Colorado and the San Francisco Bay Area, I pursued my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute. I worked as a school counselor with children and adolescents and feel great compassion for children and their families throughout the journey of school. I look forward to hearing from you!

Therapist

My approach to therapy is compassionate, and empowering. I believe meaningful change happens when my clients feel genuinely heard and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. My style is warm, authentic, and practical, I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to identify patterns, build on strengths, and create sustainable change.

I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based practices. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, whether that means addressing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or navigating major life transitions.

Clients often describe me as calm, approachable, and insightful. I see therapy as a partnership, one where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and balance so you can move forward with greater peace and purpose.
