Jessica Cowley,
MA, AMFT

Jessica (she/her) works with adults, children, and couples using a strengths-based approach that helps create insight, foster resilience, and alleviate suffering. She is grounded in the belief that healing happens in relationship, and strives to create a sense of safety in the therapeutic space through warmth, humor, curiosity, and collaboration. She believes that therapy can be a radical act, and that fostering self-compassion, holding complexity, and expanding our awareness of interdependence can help heal not just ourselves, but our communities.   

Jessica brings an intersectional perspective to therapy, exploring with clients the nuanced interplay between culture, society and mental health. Her practice is trauma-informed and honors the profound connection between body and mind, employing somatic techniques to deepen awareness of emotions and facilitate healing.  

Drawing from her personal experience as an adoptive parent and former foster parent, Jessica has a unique insight into the complexities of adoption, and is deeply invested in providing compassionate care to individuals and families in the adoption constellation. She also works with clients navigating life transitions, careers in the arts, and the often interwoven challenges of parenthood and attachment wounds. 

Jessica is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who trained at the Maple Counseling Center and The Relational Center. She holds an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, as well as an MA in Urban Planning from UCLA, and a BA in English Literature from UC Berkeley.
