Clinical Staff: Jewel George

Jewel George

I am a dedicated Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a deep passion for supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s most challenging moments. I believe therapy should be a collaborative, affirming space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. My approach integrates empathy, evidence-based practices, and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to explore their experiences safely while working toward meaningful change and healing.

I have three years of clinical experience, including two years as a trainee and one year as an AMFT. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California Baptist University and a Master of Science in Marital and Family Therapy with a specialization in Medical Family Therapy from Loma Linda University. As a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in medical family therapy and have experience working with individuals navigating medical trauma, chronic illness, and the impact of health conditions on relationships and family systems.

I work with clients experiencing ADHD, autism, PTSD, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, relational challenges, and sexual orientation and gender-related concerns. My therapeutic style is flexible and tailored to each client, as I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy. I often begin by helping clients clarify their goals and understand how current challenges connect to their lived experiences, while supporting them in setting small, achievable steps forward.

I draw from a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Contextual Family Therapy (CFT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Collaboration and open communication are central to my work, and I regularly invite client feedback to ensure therapy remains aligned with their needs. My goal is to build a strong therapeutic alliance and walk alongside clients as they create meaningful, sustainable change in their lives.
