Jacqueline Hirk, Ph.D, LMFT

If you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or carrying the weight of past experiences while continuing to meet the demands of daily life, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and heal. Many high-functioning adults seek therapy not because they are failing, but because they are ready for deeper clarity, balance, and lasting change. I am a licensed mental health clinician with over 17 years of experience providing psychotherapy to adults across diverse clinical settings. I specialize in working with trauma-focused adults, including professionals and caregivers who often carry significant responsibility, appear capable and composed on the outside, yet struggle internally with anxiety, burnout, emotional disconnection, or the effects of unresolved trauma. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, and I am EMDR-certified, with training in attachment-based therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches. Treatment is tailored to your unique history, nervous system, and goals, allowing therapy to move at a pace that feels both supportive and effective. I strive to create a calm, confidential, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel emotionally safe, respected, and understood. My work balances warmth with insight and accountability, supporting emotional regulation, self-awareness, and long-term resilience. I provide secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth therapy for adults in California, offering flexibility for busy schedules and demanding lives. Free consultations are available and can be booked directly through this directory, allowing us to explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
