Aaron Jimenez, LMFT

I am Aaron Jimenez and I am a psychotherapist (LMFT) who graduated from Pepperdine University with a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. My clinical expertise has been honed at AIDS Project Los Angeles and The Los Angeles LGBT Center, two widely renowned sites where I served the diverse populations of Los Angeles in the company of exceptionally skilled colleagues. I have also had the pleasure of volunteering as a therapist supervisor to a teen suicide hotline at Cedars-Sinai, where I work with remarkable teenagers who answer calls from other teens in crisis. I combine this professional knowledge with my own personal experience to create a safe and encouraging space for clients to grow, process and gain insight. 

In working with a variety of clients of all generations, ethnicities, and socio economic backgrounds, I have developed an ability to be an empathetic listener, which, combined with a client centered focus, allows me to collaborate with clients to create treatment goals that take a proactive approach towards healing and growth. My work has expanded to teaching in Pepperdine’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology, guest lecturing on LGBT counseling /non violent crisis intervention, and consulting on the intersection of BIPOC Identity and Mental Health, all of which has proved to be incredibly rewarding.
 

Dealing with layoffs can be extremely overwhelming. I’m grateful I was able to join @indeedworks and hosts @elainewelteroth, @loewhaley and @jerryjhlee, on a panel focused on sharing coping mechanisms for moving forward during these challenging moments.

Davante Jennings, AMFT

Hi there! My name is Davante and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) #132846 who graduated from Pepperdine University with a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.

My clinical experience began as a skills coach for New York City’s foster youth and as a state certified rape crisis and domestic violence advocate, two communities who’s voices I hope to amplify in their own healing processes.

Integrating a solutions-oriented approach, behavioral therapy, and empathy, I work with clients to create a challenging yet empowering vortex for change. In my work, one size does not fit all so creating a strong therapeutic alliance is of utmost importance. I aim to walk alongside you in the path towards finding, empowering, and affirming oneself, time and time again.

I hope to make therapy accessible to those who have been otherwise silenced because of their race, gender/gender identity and expression, sexuality / sexual orientation, veteran/police status, victim-survivor status, or any past life experiences. I look forward to the opportunity to work together.
