Dr. Jennifer Piper - Psychologist located in San Diego, California

Jennifer L. Piper, Psy.D.

Licensed Psychologist (PSY28988) in San Diego, CA

While each therapy experience is unique, I believe that establishing a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which you feel heard and understood is an important starting point for any therapy experience. We will work together to identify underlying factors that contribute to your current problems or lead you to feel stuck. We will then work to address these factors and choose alternatives so you feel more in control of your life and experiences. Also, we will incorporate ways of getting more immediate relief from your current symptoms/problems, such as coping skills for stress and anxiety management.

People come to therapy for a number of reasons. You may be at a crossroads in your life. Perhaps something doesn’t feel right or you just feel stuck. Maybe you want to improve your relationships, self-esteem, or gain clarity. Whatever brings you here today, you are likely looking for someone you can trust. A place where you can feel safe to share personal aspects of yourself. Someone who will listen, help you make sense of what may be happening in your life, and help you get to where you want to be.  

Taking that first step to getting help can often be the hardest. Entering therapy can also be very rewarding. We will work together to determine where you want to be and what may be holding you back so that you are able to progress toward your goals. 

I am a licensed psychologist who works with clients in the San Diego area as well as virtually throughout California. My specialty is helping individuals who experience discomfort, anxiety, and self-consciousness in social situations feel more relaxed and confident.  I also help individuals who have challenges related to perfectionism, shame/guilt, depression, self-doubt, and self-esteem develop greater self-compassion and self-acceptance.
