Welcome — I’m Jenna Lewis. I’m a psychotherapist who believes in a holistic, whole-person approach to healing. Each of us carries multiple identities — student, caretaker, friend, sibling, athlete, mediator, the “family glue,” and many more. When we focus on only one part of who you are, we lose the full picture.

I have lived with Psoriatic Arthritis since childhood, navigating flare-ups, medication changes, chronic pain, and lifestyle adjustments. This experience deeply informs my work and helps me support clients who are navigating chronic illness, identity challenges, or major life transitions.

My own journey has taught me that it is possible to live with a chronic condition and thrive. Your condition may take center stage in medical appointments or during difficult seasons, but your mental and emotional wellbeing deserve equal care and attention.

I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where your experiences are met with genuine understanding — a place where you can explore how to thrive in multiple areas of your life, not just “manage” your condition.

I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their strengths, honor their limits without shame, and build a life that feels meaningful, empowered, and whole.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll find me in the Santa Monica Mountains, mountain bike riding or on the slopes snowboarding during winter. I have found much comfort in crafting, such as sewing and clay work, during times my body could not sustain my other activities. Healing and building a fulfilling life takes bravery and the self-awareness that one might need some additional support.
