More about Jesus

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • Psychologist

I have been described as an insightful and empathic clinician. I earned my doctorate in psychology at the School of Behavioral and Applied Science, Azusa Pacific University. I completed an APA-accredited clinical internship at WestCoast Children’s Clinic where I specialized in treating ethnically diverse children and adolescents, many with severe anxiety, depression, and exposure to traumatic events. Prior to internship, I trained in community mental health outpatient settings, conducting psychological testing and providing in-home, community based services.

I integrate elements of positive psychology, solutions-focused, motivational interviewing, and existential therapies. I believes that therapy can benefit everyone, and have participated in multiple modalities: individual, couples, group, and psychoanalysis. I treat a diversity of concerns, including depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, addiction, stress, and relational issues. I specialize in working with children, teens, parents, and young adults.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
