My name is JoLee Walker. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the Redondo Beach area of Southern California via telehealth. I work with individuals and couples. I specialize in anxiety, stress, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem issues, life transitions, relationship issues, depression, and developmental trauma.
My approach
My therapeutic approach begins as a collaborative process between therapist and client, but ultimately you will come to know and trust your internal experience. I will help you cultivate this ability through mindful exploration of your experience on the mental, emotional, and physical levels by using mindfulness-based practices and skills. These practices develop more mental clarity, inner calm, and less reactivity. I draw on my theoretical modalities to assist in our work together. Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Focus Therapy, Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Somatic and Trauma Therapy, and Attachment Theory to name just a few.
My focus
I work with individuals and couples challenged with a variety of issues from anxiety and depression to relationship issues with others and with the relationship we have with ourselves. Bringing awareness to our behavioral, mental, and emotional patterns helps us unpack our experience and what we want to change.
My communication style
I believe that we all have the inner resources to heal and live full and rich lives. I approach our work together through this orientation and with gentle supportive encouragement help you turn inward to discover, explore and unveil that intelligence that is uniquely yours. I use Mindfulness-based practices and skills as an entry point to help you build the capacities of mental clarity and emotional regulation.
My journey to mental healthcare
I began my journey as a therapist after a major life transition that brought me face-to-face with myself. This life transition promoted a deep inquiry and exploration into my internal world and ultimately led to my completing a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Spiritual Psychology. This study leads me to become a Mindfulness Practitioner and deeply want to help others develop their capacity to grow and heal.
