Clinical Services

  • Jessica Lim, MFT has extensive clinical experience working with children and adolescents (ages 5-17). Depending on each unique child, their circumstances, and therapeutic goals, treatment is customized to build upon client strengths.

    As needed, parenting support and collaborative efforts with schools and other healthcare providers helps to best support the whole child.

    Treatment modalities include Play and Expressive Arts Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, and Nature Therapy.

    Your child may benefit from therapy if he/she is experiencing issues related to:

    • Family structure changes

    • Transitions (moving, change of schools)

    • Autism Spectrum Disorders

    • ADHD

    • Bullying

    • Physical/sexual trauma or witnessing violence/chronic conflict

    • Depression

    • Anxiety

    • Social skills/peer relationships

    • Grief

    • Behavioral challenges at home/school

  • We provide a warm and directive approach to supporting parents utilizing evidence based parenting methods to increase relational harmony with their co-parents and children.

    Modalities for parenting support include an integrated approach including: Mindfulness, Attachment, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

  • Nature therapy unlocks the powerful healing benefits of nature immersion.

    Our treatments plans for most clinical indications can include nature based interventions interwoven with evidence-based modalities to help support treatment outcomes.

    Nature therapy intervention sessions include outdoor mindfulness and reflection as well as private guided surf sessions with a life guard certified coach.

  • In addition to traditional weekly sessions for couples therapy, we provide intensives for couples who can benefit from focused work over a shorter duration. Couples intensives include couples-focused assessments and a three hour session.

    Couples therapy can provide a fresh look at factors of compatibility, values alignment, as well as patterns that are influenced by early childhood experiences. Sessions help to decrease tension through emotional self-regulation and increase how couples understand and relate to one other.

  • It is common for families to experience challenges or “growing pains” during different life phases, changes in the family system, patterns of conflict, or when facing unexpected events.

    Family therapy provides an intentional space with professional support, allowing family members to process emotions on both an individual level, in smaller groupings (i.e. parent/child), and also as a family unit. Family therapy provides space for multiple perspectives, and opportunities to improve communication, co-regulation, shared values exploration, and increased family resilience.

Our Process

Intake & Assessments

An initial intake helps to gather background information and establish a mutual understanding of how therapy can best support you and/or your family.

Assessments provide valuable insight and data into current symptoms, ascertain clinical diagnosis, and track progress through the treatment process.

While a diagnosis is not required for treatment and symptoms are just a part of the whole picture, measurement-based care provides reliability and clarity for your treatment path forward.

Personalized Treatment

Therapy is not one-size-fits all. Given the rich complexity of each individual’s personality, the influence of the systems (family, friends, school, work) they exist in, and any other external factors, therapy treatment that “fits” and subsequently “works” requires personalization.

Drawing from modalities that are evidence-based as well as holistic, our approach integrates interventions that are strengths-based, solutions-focused, and client-led.

Depending on therapy goals, certain modalities with proven efficacy will be utilized alongside humanistic and nature-based interventions, aligning with our whole-person and progressive approach to healing and treatment.
