Jill Landerholm, PhD

I am an experienced Psychologist providing individual psychotherapy for adults in California.

As a psychotherapist for more than 25 years, I have helped many clients make tangible and lasting changes in their lives. I would be happy to talk with you about beginning therapy to help you feel better, find more peace and comfort, and to grow in ways that will allow you to live more fully.

People tell me that I have a warm, comfortable style and a caring nature. I truly enjoy the work I do and have strong technical skills and knowledge to effectively address a wide range of concerns. I am glad to help individuals who have experienced abuse and trauma, as well as those with specific current struggles in their lives. I bring compassion and understanding to every concern.

Generally, I work with clients to:
calm troubling anxiety
enhance personal strengths and wellness
ease life transitions
soften grief and loss, including pet loss
transcend wounds of the past
restore emotional health and balance
develop more satisfying relationships

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical and looks beyond the surface of issues, drawing upon the most current psychological approaches. For example, I am skilled in EMDR (a well-researched treatment technique for trauma/anxiety), psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy. I often integrate elements of somatic therapy, expressive art, and other modern treatment approaches in my work. I especially enjoy helping clients to identify and build upon their own strengths to make way for growth. With broad experience to draw upon, I can be attuned to the preferences, learning style, and needs of each individual client. I welcome individual adults of all backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations, genders, and physical abilities. However, please be aware that I do not provide therapy to children, adolescents, couples or families.
