I’ve just started with Jazmin but she has been great. She is an active listener and uses a lot of reflective language that helps me actually communicate what I’m trying to say. So far, very excited to continue working with her on myself.

More about Jazmín
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 13 years of experience working in clinical practice. I am born and raised in San Francisco's Mission District. I am Salvarodan and Nicaraguan; a native Spanish speaker and am fully bilingual. I have served clients experiencing multiple occurring conditions requiring some form of crisis stabilization service or intervention. I have counseled individuals and families dealing with an array of issues such as immigration/deportation, domestic and community violence, teen pregnancy, work – readiness, homelessness, substance abuse, and more.
As of 2012, my clinical experience has afforded me the opportunity to provide brief and long-term psychotherapy utilizing strength-based, trauma informed, and culturally congruent clinical interventions. I utilize a client’s worldview as a cognitive template to enhance health and wellness practices that fortify their resilience. I help motivate clients in their recovery to become agents of change and wellness in their respective communities.
My vast experience has given me a particular insight on how to collaborate effectively with individuals of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural backgrounds. Up to 70% of the clients I have worked with are monolingual Spanish-Speaking immigrants and 50% are African American. Ten percent speak Maya/Yucateco, and Maya/Mam, Quechua, Cantonese, Samoan, Tagalog, Mongolian, Arabic, English, and Russian. I understand the impact culturally informed, social justice, and relational approaches can have in defining health and wellness practices, as well as alleviating community violence and intergenerational trauma.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I wanted to say I love you to her since the first session we had!
Jazmin takes her time to understand what I need. I am rarely comfortable speaking about my emotions. She lets me talk but guides me well through my thoughts and emotions. She feels real and I am completely comfortable. I can open up to her without it feeling too formal though she is always professional I feel like I am speaking to a trusted friend and I have only had two sessions with her. What an absolute gem!
