Jonathan Quinonez, LCSW

Therapy works best when it doesn't feel like therapy. When you can actually say what's going on without filtering it for the therapist. That's the room I try to build. I work with adults and couples on identity, self-confidence, anxiety, trauma, and the relationship patterns that keep repeating. Most of my clients are high-achieving on paper. The career is moving, the relationship looks fine, the friends are around. And underneath it, something feels missing, hollow, or stuck on a loop they can't quite name. Usually, it's not that they're broken. It's that they've spent years not letting themselves open up to other people, and to themselves. I'm trained in CBT, trauma-informed work, and solution-focused modalities, and use a psychodynamic and relational approach. The relationship we build is the work. The modalities are the toolkit. The relationship is where the change actually happens. My approach is warm, direct, honest, and not afraid to laugh with you. Clinical when it helps, subtle when it doesn't. Reach out and let's see if we're a fit. Offering virtual sessions across California, including the greater Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. Come as you are. Leave with more.
