Jamie Hood, LMFT

Jamie aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for people facing everyday struggles. She has worked in a variety of settings, including independent practice, a shelter serving pregnant and unhoused women, and a school-based counseling program.

Those roles involved individual and group work, collaboration with school staff and community agencies, and helping with crises and case management. This background informs how she navigates real-life problems in sessions.

Jamie uses methods that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, while keeping attention on immediate goals and solutions. She also draws on attachment ideas and mindfulness practices to help people build self-esteem and manage symptoms.

Sessions tend to be practical and oriented toward change rather than long abstractions. She has a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and holds a California LMFT license.

Jamie has completed trainings on trauma, play therapy, anorexia, crisis intervention, and marital tools such as Prepare and Enrich. She also continues to learn about living with Type 1 diabetes to better understand the challenges that can come with chronic illness.

Outside of work she runs, rock climbs, and reads. She is a military spouse and a parent, and she seeks to create a calm, honest space where people can talk through hard things and work toward practical steps forward.
