San Diego, California therapist: Jessica Dominguez, marriage and family therapist
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Jessica Dominguez

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy can help us find the path that will help us feel more confident, capable, and rooted in ourselves; help us learn to manage life's challenges, and connect us to our resilience and strengths in a way that honor our values, culture, and highlights that we have all we need to heal and grow. Life can be extremely difficult, and at some point, we all need support in helping navigate it. I actively center culture in my life and therapeutic work, and believe that connecting to our culture can promote healing, growth, self-acceptance, help us shed internalized oppressive views, as well as foster self-awareness and a deeper connection to our more authentic selves. I'm passionate about social justice and working with BIPOC women & Latine communities. Se habla espanol.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Rima Danielle Jomaa, marriage and family therapist
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Rima Danielle Jomaa

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I don't offer anything I haven't personally lived or seen work in the therapy room. I meet clients exactly where they are — not where I think they "should" be — and bring tools that are grounded, effective, and ready to use. I know what it's like to struggle, to set boundaries, to heal, and to rebuild from the inside out. I live in pursuit of alignment and truth, and I guide others to do the same — not through perfection, but through presence and practice. Together, we create change that feels authentic, lasting, and alive. If you're ready to begin, I'd be honored to be part of your journey.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Jacob Kajiwara

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., LMFT
In therapy with me, you’ll find a space that is conversational, collaborative, and gently challenging. I work with a mix of intellectual and emotional approaches, offering both insight and practical tools. Together, we will create a framework of both self-compassion and accountability, helping you better understand what’s getting in your way and begin making choices that reflect who you truly are. We will explore not just your symptoms, but the larger emotional and relational themes that shape your experience. I help you trace how your protective patterns. How things like overcommitment, avoidance, self-criticism, or emotional numbness may have once served you but now hold you back from the fuller, more connected life you desire.
