Individual therapy gives you the space to slow down and see your life clearly. It is a dedicated time to focus on your well-being and gain the tools you need to navigate the ups and downs of life.

Individual therapy for adults, teens and seniors
I'm Dr. Jené Verchick, a licensed psychologist (Psy.D.) with over 22 years of clinical experience. I provide a grounded, supportive environment to help you work through the issues that feel the heaviest. My practice focuses on developing healthy relationships, anxiety, burnout, depression, life transitions, sex, trauma and grief.
-
Anxiety & Burnout: Managing the exhaustion of constant stress, overthinking, and the feeling that you can never truly "turn off."
-
Depression: Finding a way through the days when everything feels flat, heavy, or disconnected.
-
Life Transitions: Navigating career changes, relocations, or identity shifts when the old version of yourself no longer fits.
-
Trauma & Grief: Processing difficult experiences—whether from childhood or recent loss—using trauma-informed approaches that prioritize your safety and healing without re-traumatization.
What Working Together Looks Like
Reaching out is the first step. You don't need to have everything figured out or a perfect explanation for why you're calling—we start where you are.
Initial consultation: We'll talk about what's bringing you in, what you're hoping to change, and whether my approach feels like a good fit. This is also your chance to ask questions about therapy, my background, or how we'd work together.
Ongoing therapy: I practice depth-oriented therapy, which means we build a relationship over time where you can explore difficult feelings, contradictions, and parts of yourself that don't always make sense. My approach is clinical and professional, but also deeply human. I'm direct, engaged, and won't shy away from exploring uncomfortable territory when it matters.
Testimonials
"I spent years managing high-level stress in my career, but I couldn't figure out how to 'turn it off' at home. Dr. Verchick didn’t just give me surface-level coping skills; she helped me dig into the perfectionism that was driving my burnout. Her direct, engaged style was exactly what I needed to finally break the cycle and find some actual peace." — A., Creative Executive
"Coming to Dr. Verchick during a major career and identity shift was the best decision I made. I felt like the old version of myself didn't fit anymore, and I was drifting. She provided a grounded space where I could be messy and honest. I left our sessions feeling like I finally had a clear view of my own path forward." — S., Attorney
"I was hesitant to start therapy because I didn't want to be 're-traumatized' by talking about my past. Jené’s approach was different. She is incredibly clinical and professional, yet so deeply human. She helped me process childhood wounds and a recent loss in a way that felt safe. For the first time in a long time, my past isn't the thing running my daily life." — M., Mother
"I originally sought individual therapy because I kept hitting the same walls in my relationships. Dr. Verchick helped me see the contradictions in how I was showing up. She isn't the type of therapist who just nods—she’s active and stays right there with you in the uncomfortable parts. My relationships, and my relationship with myself, have completely shifted." — J., Entrepreneur
"I always avoided therapy because I thought it would just be an hour of sitting in a dark room feeling sad and heavy. Working with Dr. Verchick completely changed that. She is a great listener, but she’s also a real person—she’s engaged, warm, and easy to talk to. Even when we were diving into the tough stuff, I actually enjoyed our sessions. She has a way of making the process feel lighter and more manageable, rather than overwhelming. I walked out of her office feeling like a weight had been lifted, not added." — R., Los Angeles
