Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi, I’m Jennifer, a psychotherapist dedicated to helping adults move beyond anxiety, self-doubt, and self-criticism to reconnect with their innate capacity to heal and thrive. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy, integrating evidence-based methods that address both mind and body for deeper, lasting change. Together, we’ll identify the roots of your challenges, work through barriers, and develop practical tools that foster self-acceptance, emotional balance, and more fulfilling connections. Having personally experienced the transformative power of quality therapy, I bring not only expertise but genuine empathy and understanding to our work—so you can step confidently into a life of clarity, connection, and growth.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Online in Santa Maria, CA (Online Only)
Santa Maria is a Central Coast California city in Santa Barbara County with one of California's largest proportions of Latino residents and an economy anchored by agriculture, oil, and wine production—particularly in the nearby Santa Maria Valley wine region—and the mental health landscape reflects the specific challenges of a working-class agricultural community where many residents are farmworkers or their family members, facing occupational health risks, economic precarity, immigration stress, and limited access to services. Marian Regional Medical Center provides health services, and community health organizations serve the significant uninsured and underinsured farmworker population, though the gap between mental health need and available culturally competent Spanish-language care is persistent. Common therapy concerns include farmworker stress and occupational health, immigration trauma and undocumented status anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics in a community navigating significant acculturation pressures, and access barriers in a city where the majority population is often underserved by formal mental health systems.
