Jennifer Barrios

Jennifer Barrios

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi! I’m Jennifer Barrios, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with a master’s degree from USC and nearly a decade of experience in mental health. My journey began in community mental health, where I provided support to individuals and families facing complex challenges. Now, I’ve transitioned into full-time private practice, where I continue my passion for helping others heal and grow.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel totally seen and heard while working through life’s ups and downs. Whether you're dealing with anxiety (like constant worry or panic attacks), feeling stuck, struggling with self-esteem, working through past trauma, or facing depression (like feeling low energy or withdrawing from others), I’m here to help you reconnect with the real you. My approach is super chill and personalized because I know healing looks different for everyone.
