About me
I’m a licensed therapist passionate about helping adults overcome anxiety, trauma, and life transitions through honest, evidence-based support.
Here’s a Psychology Today–ready *About Me* section that builds directly off your headline and integrates your personal voice, specialties, and offerings:
---
Feeling overwhelmed by life's relentless demands can leave you exhausted, lying awake at night with racing thoughts. The joy once found in activities and relationships now feels distant, replaced by irritability or emptiness. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or self-worth, you're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.
I'm Jennifer Seidner, a licensed therapist and the founder of BayRidge Effective Therapy. I specialize in working with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and stress. My East Coast background brings a direct, honest, and creative approach to our sessions. Clients often tell me they appreciate the balance of real talk and deep support.
I offer 50-minute telehealth sessions across California and a free 15-minute phone consultation to make sure we're a good fit. Using evidence-based modalities like DBT and Trauma-Focused CBT, I create personalized treatment plans rooted in your unique needs and goals. Whether you're stuck in old patterns, navigating a major life change, or just trying to feel like yourself again—I’m here to help you uncover your strengths and move forward.
Let’s connect and reignite your passion for life.
