About
Jewel Safren
When things are not okay, and haven't been in a long time… perhaps it’s your marriage, your child, or a personal struggle that torments you each day. It feels like you’ve tried lots of things already, but nothing's worked.
​
You realize that you really can't do this alone, and calling a therapist is not easy.
​
You want a therapist, and one who can understand and help you make changes in a way that feels safe and comfortable.
Blinded by our own habitual thinking, it is almost impossible to find a new way of being—without a guide.
​
I work with people to help them gain insights into their own thoughts and actions. From this new perspective, positive changes naturally result.
​
For the past three decades, I have been helping clients get to the root cause of their struggles while still maintaining stability in their personal lives. In our work together, I do everything I can to make sure my clients feel safe. I have tremendous compassion for people and their struggles, and I understand that everyone is doing the best they can in the moment.
​
I have developed my approach and style over the past 35 years, after graduating from NYU with a Master’s in Social Work. I have done clinical work at Stanford and the National Institute for Mental Health, and have worked with clients both nationally and internationally.
​
Life is not easy—it’s more like a full-contact sport. We all have deep feelings of brokenness, of not being enough. I work with my clients to dissolve these painful experiences and uncover the good, so they can experience the whole, healthy person underneath it all.
​
Therapy doesn’t have to be scary—it’s simply a vote for yourself. Good therapy gives you an opportunity to get in touch with your true self and live a more authentic life that’s in alignment with who you truly are.
​
You matter, and helping you through your struggles matters to me.
​
It would be a privilege to speak with you about how I can help.
