I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master’s degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling and over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, families, and couples across a wide range of settings, including dual diagnosis programs, residential treatment centers, county behavioral health clinics, and law-enforcement–affiliated crisis response teams.

My work alongside multiple police departments, providing crisis intervention in high-stress and high-risk situations, has shaped my ability to remain grounded, compassionate, and effective even during life’s most overwhelming moments. I bring that same calm and steady presence into the therapy room.

My name is Jaskirn Johal-Dhillon, and I am a bilingual mental health therapist who speaks both English and Punjabi. I received my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Fresno. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, attachment challenges in adulthood, and those seeking inner child healing. My work is grounded in the belief that early childhood experiences shape our internal blueprint, yet with increased self-awareness and compassionate therapeutic support, those patterns can be understood, healed, and transformed. I am passionate about working with people from diverse backgrounds and helping them reconnect with their authentic selves so they can lead the life they choose to live.

Therapist

My journey into mental health began with a deep interest in the intersection of human behavior and emotional resilience.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults going through life transitions and experiencing trauma. My current practice includes individual treatment helping adults with anxiety and depression, self-esteem/confidence, grief, trauma and life transitions! Finding a therapist with whom you connect with is important.

Over the past 14 years, I have worked in a variety of settings, including private practice, community clinics and public school settings. These experiences have shaped my belief that therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" process, but rather a collaborative partnership built on trust and evidence-based strategies!

I hold a Master of Social Work from California State Long Beach as well as a Bachelor of Social Work from Azusa Pacific University..

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Chico, CA

Searching for therapists in Chico starts with finding care that fits your needs, preferences, and goals. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Chico is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger California markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and what each therapist focuses on in care.

Therapy in Chico can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists, check insurance details to confirm coverage and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual sessions when available. You can browse therapists in Chico, review bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
