Hi. I'm Jill Tiedeman, a licensed marriage and family therapist for over fourteen years based in California. Whether you are young and just getting started, wise in years, or somewhere in between, life, as we are only all too aware, is not always smooth sailing.

As your therapist, I provide you with both skills and tools to help you learn to successfully navigate rough waters.

Reaching out for help to either unravel the pain of your past or squarely face an uncertain or challenging future is clearly not easy, and the decision to seek out professional therapy is both brave and courageous. The good news, however, is you will almost always experience and enhancement to the quality of your day-to-day life as a result of your efforts.

Client-centered therapy is at the heart of what I do, and the first thing you will instantly note is that I do not – and will not – judge you. Rather, we will become a closely knit team working together to help you move beyond both your physical and mental pain and to re-establish positive and productive life patterns.

My methodology combines both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques to help you to:

- Increase mindfulness and distress tolerance

- Decrease depression and anger

- Reduce and manage negative thought patterns

Assisting and guiding you along your road to recovery and both a fulfilling and mindful life is my foremost goal.

I have worked for many years with clients in mental health crisis as well as clients with relationship challenges, life transition issues, depression, anxiety, and more. I also have knowledge about chronic illness and chronic pain and how to get through life in spite of the ups and downs.

I have experience with clients of all ages, lifestyles, and addictions. Chances are very good that you can change your life, and, in that process, restore both the happiness and peace you seek and deserve.

I look forward to working with you soon!
