Hi, I'm Jeremy O'Brien. Originally from New England I am proud to now call Pasadena my home.  I graduated from Boston College with my Masters in Social Work with a focus on clinical work with clients suffering from complex trauma.

I believe that the work we do is collaborative and that together we create a safe space to explore the issues related to your trauma.

I have worked with individuals, couples, children, families and groups focusing on restoring clients from a variety of issues ranging from:

• emotional/physical abuse
• sexual abuse/incest
• attachment difficulties
• family conflict
• dissociation
• anxiety and depression

Clients have expressed that by being curious and patient our sessions allow them to go at their own pace while still addressing and containing difficult emotions/reactions that come up while we talk. Clients have also expressed excitement that I don't only get to know about their trauma or define them based on their worst moments. They have stated this makes them feel like their trauma, while affecting them, isn't who they are.

Clients who have felt alone, misunderstood and isolated often begin to reconnect with themselves and their loved ones. In our sessions together, client's better understand how their trauma is still along for the ride and we explore how to renegotiate that relationship.

Together we explore their identity outside their trauma story and we invite other parts of themselves into the room and usually discover that these parts have been blocked or marginalized but still exist.
