ABOUT THERAPY
YOU DESERVE TO FEEL LIKE YOU AGAIN!
You’ve been running on overdrive, doing everything you can to keep it all together. But it’s exhausting, isn’t it?
Your mind never seems to stop racing, and when you do have a quiet moment, everything feels like it’s bubbling up at once. It can feel out of control – like you’re drowning in “too much.”
But here’s the thing: You are not broken. You don’t feel this way because there’s something wrong with you; it’s just unprocessed stuff that’s weighing you down.
But you don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
I’LL BE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
We’ll take things at your pace, figuring out what you truly want from life and how to get there.
Even if your dreams feel out of reach right now, we’ll break them down together and make them real, one step at a time.
WE DON’T HAVE TO JUMP RIGHT IN.
I know… there’s the “deep end” – the painful memories you’ve been carrying for so long.
Before we go there, we’ll first build up your confidence and sense of safety so you’re ready to face the hard stuff when the time comes.
You’ll be amazed at how much lighter you can feel once those old, stuck emotions are finally processed and put in their place.
WHATEVER “BETTER” LOOKS LIKE FOR YOU…
I’m here to help you get there. This is your space to dream big, feel deeply, and grow into the person you’ve always known you could be.
In a single session, you might be overcome with self-compassion you haven’t felt in years. A few weeks in, you could find yourself saying “no” without guilt or prioritizing YOUR needs. And after a few months? You might be ending toxic relationships, crushing personal goals, or just waking up excited about life for the first time in a long time.
It might be messy at times, but change CAN happen!
IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE ME…
I’d say it’s because I’ve been there, too. I know what it feels like to be stuck, overwhelmed, and searching for something more.
I also know the courage it takes to reach out for help. You can count on me to meet you with empathy and understanding every step of the way.
And I know life gets busy… and making time for yourself can feel impossible. You can log in from wherever works best for you: your couch, the car on a lunch break, or even the bathroom at your in-laws’ house (no judgment here).
Wherever you are and whatever you’re going through, I’ll meet you there with compassion and hope.
LET’S DO THIS!
This is your time.
Let’s turn the overwhelm into clarity and create a life that makes you excited to wake up in the morning.
I’m here… ready when you are.
Call today, and we’ll set up your free consultation.
ABOUT JESSICA TAYLOR VARA, LMFT, EMDR
MY ROAD TO BECOMING A TRAUMA THERAPIST…
After a lifetime of struggling with anxiety, surviving abusive relationships, and facing years of infertility, I now live a life I once thought was impossible. I’m married to my perfect partner and the proud mother of a precious daughter.
My own healing journey began what feels like a lifetime ago with EMDR therapy. For much of my life, I felt overwhelmed and isolated. Looking back, I have profound gratitude for the struggles, the healing, and the resilience that have carried me to where I am today.
I graduated with my Master’s degree in Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles in 2018 and became a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) shortly thereafter. I’ve been working in the healing field for over a decade and have specialized in trauma treatment from the start of my clinical career.
I completed EMDR basic training immediately after graduate school and later became a Certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA. Since the beginning of my practice, I’ve provided EMDR therapy virtually, gaining extensive experience delivering trauma treatment online.
In 2024, I began working as an EMDR Consultant-in-Training and currently provide individual and group consultation for clinicians pursuing EMDRIA certification.
I absolutely love being an EMDR therapist and walking alongside my clients on their healing journeys, combining professional expertise with deep empathy rooted in my own experience.
THIS IS MY MISSION…
I’m here for the sleepless nights when fear, shame, and the ache of unmet dreams take over. For the women questioning their worth, battling the heaviness of infertility, or being crushed by the weight of perfection, this is a space where your pain is understood, your story is honored, and healing becomes possible. Because you deserve more than survival; you deserve hope, joy, and peace.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant-in-Training, I’m also pursuing certification as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist with Postpartum Support International. Whether you’re navigating trauma, infertility, or the challenges of motherhood…
My mission is to help you rediscover your strength and reclaim your life.
OUTSIDE OF THERAPY…
Outside of therapy, I’m a yoga enthusiast who loves to tap into that inner calm.
I’m always looking for ways to recharge physically and mentally – mostly through long walks on the beach.
But don’t ask me to go on a jog!!
