Hello. My name is Jamie Hood, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I graduated with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hope International University in 2013. I have been working in the mental health field since 2012 and have gained some incredible experience in the places I have worked. I have worked in several private practice settings working with individual, couples, family, adolescents, and children with a range of presenting problems such as, anxiety, depression, phase of life problems, relationship issues, and self-esteem. I worked for three years at a pregnant and homeless women's shelter providing individual and group therapy for women who were about to have babies, homeless, and dealing with many distressing issues, like drug abuse, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, and codependency. I also worked in a school-based MediCal-funded program through the YMCA in the San Diego area called TIDES offering counseling services to youth ages 5 to 18 and their families who were struggling with emotional and behavioral problems. I also worked closely in this program with school personnel and community agencies providing case management, support, crisis management, and medication monitoring. In my work with clients, I tend to use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. By using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I seek to find the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that usually stem from our childhood and past and seek to challenge the negative cognitions that so often get in our way. When using Solution-Focused therapy, I like to stay in the present moment and focus on creating goals to get you where you want to be. I also use attachment, existential, and mindfulness techniques to relieve symptoms, increase self-esteem, and help you be the best version of yourself. As a therapist, I believe it is important to be educating yourself on a consistent basis to stay up-to-date with changing policies and mental health diagnoses. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am a certified marital and premarital therapist through Prepare and Enrich. I have also completed many trainings, like Nonviolent Crisis Intervention, Trauma, Anorexia, Play Therapy, Prepare and Enrich, and Law and Ethics. I am also a recently diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic and continually research chronic disease to educate and empower myself and others to deal with the physical, mental, and emotional toll that comes with it. When I am not in the therapy room, I love to run, exercise, rock climb, and read. I am a military wife, and I love to play with my two young children. I went into this field because I wanted the people that I work with to have a safe and comfortable place to express themselves, process the difficulties that they are going through, provide a sense of hope, and help others be the best versions of themselves that they can be. I would be honored to partner with you in this journey.

Hello there, my name is Mark Shokair and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I hold a masters degree in counseling psychology from California State University East Bay. I've been working in the mental health field for more than 15 years. During that time I have worked with many different populations including children, teenagers, adults, couples and families. I have worked with varying levels of severity ranging from mild dysfunction to severe disorders. Currently I work in a private practice setting with people who struggle with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger management, work problems and relationship problems. I tailor my approach to each client individually to help each individual achieve their goals. Sometimes people want to change the way they think, others simply want to feel better. There are times when you feel stuck where life just isn't working and you need to do something different to keep moving forward. In order to help each individual achieve their goals I use varying modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavior Therapy, Trauma Focused and Insight Oriented Techniques. Whatever challenges we face in life we can find the answers. Let's work together to get your life moving again. I look forward to speaking with you.

Welcome! My name is Jennifer Boden Gaumer and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Southern California with over ten years of experience in providing therapy services. I have worked in many therapeutic settings including: a hospital-based child guidance clinic, residential treatment center, and community-based professional parenting program for teenagers in foster care. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting problems, ADHD, OCD and, learning disabilities. As a trained forensic interviewer, I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Originally from Connecticut, I relocated to Southern California in 2009. I earned my Masters in Social Work degree from the University of Connecticut School of Social Work in 2001. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology from Clark University in Massachusetts. My counseling style is warm, interactive, and caring. I use various forms of psychotherapy (e.g., talk-therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and problem-solving therapy) to help my clients develop the tools necessary to address and/or relieve troubling symptoms and make positive improvements to their lives. The journey to starting a therapeutic relationship is one built on courage, strength, and trust. It takes courage to recognize the need for help, strength to believe in yourself, and trust in the therapeutic process. Outside of being a therapist, I am an avid gardener and home renovation fan. I also enjoy reading, going to the beach, and traveling to new places with my husband and two daughters. I look forward to working with you!

The road of life can be unpredictable. Sometimes it takes you exactly where you want to go. Sometimes you encounter detours and accidents. As a licensed therapist for over 25 years I’ve treated just about everything. Now I have the freedom to focus on the areas I’m really good at and the ones I really enjoy: anxiety, depression and change of life issues. Additionally I’ve always loved teaching parenting skills and now with 2 adult children established and our relationships on firm footing I do so with credibility not just theory. Every decade in life can be wonderful and difficult all at the same time. I look forward to helping you find your inner strength and perhaps learn some new useful life skills. It takes courage to begin but you’ve got this!
