Dr. Jen Bachtold

*Accepting new patients and referrals throughout California! I am currently conducting telehealth sessions either over the Zoom platform or by telephone in the comfort of your own surroundings (and minus the commute!).*

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, a CADC-II (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor), a Certified Specialist in Anger Management, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Looking for a new therapist can be quite daunting and time consuming, can't it? I understand how important and crucial it is to find a suitable match. I pride myself on creating a safe, supportive, and open environment for my patients. I work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, emotional disturbances, change of life transitions, chronic pain, relationship concerns, work burnout, personality disorders, intra/interpersonal issues, and general stressors. I utilize evidenced-based therapy including an inclusive and integrated humanistic model that tailors therapy specific to your needs.

I have experience delivering evidenced-based therapies in individual and group therapy, including providing individual short-term and long-term psychotherapy. I use an inclusive, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral model that puts the patient first and includes CBT, IPT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and anger management, relapse prevention. Providers in my office are allies of Racial-Justiced and LGBTQIA+.

I use a comprehensive approach that may incorporate various therapy modalities depending on the needs of the session. Each session may be different and tailored to YOU! In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress and adjust the therapy approach as needed and as goals are met!
