Hi! I’m Jenna Mahoney, LMFT, and I’m excited to announce I have recently opened my full time, in-person private practice in downtown Monterey. I work primarily with adults and couples, utilizing a trauma informed approach. I am certified in Brainspotting trauma therapy, which is a primary modality used with individuals. I have found Brainspotting to be effective in processing attachment based trauma, and helpful with reducing reactivity and the effect of negative core beliefs on client’s lives. My instagram account @jennamahoneylmft showcases some explanations of how Brainspotting is utilized in therapy. With couples, I am passionate about exploring the impact of childhood experiences on adult relationships. By identifying and addressing unmet needs from the past, I help couples navigate challenges and cultivate deeper connections.

I grew up locally, in Carmel Valley. I’m a lover of the outdoors, and have had opportunities in my work as a therapist to incorporate our beautiful environment into my work. While working in residential substance abuse, I had the opportunity to run, walk, and even surf with clients to support them in re-engaging with the world around them. My favorite day as a therapist was witnessing a group of inpatient clients get out of the ocean - wet, salty, and full of joy!

I have also joined the MC-CAMFT board as the Social Media manager, and am working to increase our visibility and connectivity within our local community of providers. It is my hope to connect with many of you individually, and have the opportunity to showcase the unique services each of us offer. More to come on that! 

At this time, I am accepting new private pay clients for in-person and remote sessions. If you are interested in additional information on my services, or are interested in highlighting your practice on social media, please reach out to me directly at (831) 240-5421 or jenna@jennamahoneylmft.com
