Jessica Waterson LMFT

Welcome to my therapy website. My office is in the heart of the Claremont Village. I am walking distance or a bike ride away from the (5C's). I provide in-person or telehealth mental health services and am licensed in the State of California.

I am passionate and dedicated to creating an inclusive and affirming environment for all people!

I am a compassionate and inclusive somatic therapist with over 14 years of experience in fostering healing through the mind-body connection. I have been a licensed since 2013. I specialize and have extensive training and experience in the treatment of adults who are experiencing symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, relational issues, adjustment difficulties, chronic pain, addiction and sports related issues.

I incorporate teachings about the biology of the body and bring in neuroscience to help educate clients about common stress reactions. We have the power to change the way our brains are wired and we can learn ways in which we can release physical and emotional pain that is stored in the body. This means there is hope and we don’t have to become stuck from the stress and trauma that may have derailed us. Bringing in nervous system regulation skills can help mitigate common stress reactions in the body and can give individuals a sense of greater well-being and quality of life.

My main treatment modality is the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM). I am EMDR trained.

When I am not in my private practice, I work for a wonderful non-profit called the Trauma Resource Institute (TRI). I am a senior trainer and consultant where I teach and provide consultation for the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) and the Community Resiliency Model (CRM). I teach community members and healthcare professionals from all around the world. I also am a mother, wife, and animal lover.
