“At any given moment you have the power to say, this is not how I want my story to end”
I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience assisting others achieving relief from addiction, co-dependency, complex trauma, anxiety and depression.
I specialize in the treatment of individuals, couples and families to assist with post traumatic stress disorder, relationship issues, grief and loss and substance abuse.
I provide a safe and nurturing environment that ensures the provision of high quality personalized care.
I provide EMDR for those suffering from trauma. In addition, I have extensive training and experience in providing CBT , IFS therapy and together we will work to identify and break unhelpful patterns and find new ways to grow and thrive as individuals.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides compassionate, evidence-based care for adults. My approach is clinical, trauma-informed, and whole-person; I look beyond symptoms alone and consider the many parts of life that shape mental health. I believe care should feel collaborative, supportive, and not overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel understood while creating a treatment plan that fits your life, values, and goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, in-office IV or IM ketamine treatment, or support through a difficult season, I want you to feel safe, respected, and empowered.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am here to listen, guide, and support you in overcoming life’s challenges. I have been in the mental health field for eight years, working with clients of different socioeconomic status address their concerns with anxiety, depression, grief, and communication.
Hello,
I am Dr. Jaeger and I welcome you to my practice. I look forward to sitting with you, hearing your story, and developing a plan to help you with your concerns and needs.
I believe healing begins with feeling genuinely understood, supported, and accepted. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that lasting change happens when people can safely explore their experiences without judgment.
Growing up in a military family and spending decades serving as a flight medic, deputy sheriff, and firefighter taught me how deeply connection, trust, and stability shape emotional well-being, especially in environments where vulnerability can feel risky or costly. Those experiences continue to influence the way I work with clients today, creating a space where people can show up authentically and feel supported as they navigate life's challenges.
I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the emotional demands of everyday life. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools for navigating challenges, and build on the strengths you already possess.
I value authenticity, curiosity, and clear communication, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-informed counseling that thoughtfully integrates spiritual beliefs into the therapeutic process, recognizing that faith can be an important source of meaning, resilience, and healing.
Whether you are navigating a difficult season, working through longstanding concerns, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance, I am committed to helping you build resilience, increase self-understanding, and create meaningful change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Los Angeles
Finding addiction therapists in Los Angeles starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, prescription substance concerns, gambling, and other behavioral patterns. As you compare therapists, look for experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted treatment when a prescriber is part of your care team. A therapist’s listed specialties can help you see whether their background matches what you want to work on.
Los Angeles has a large mental health care market, and the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Location may matter if you want in-person sessions near your neighborhood, workplace, or transit route, while virtual appointments can widen your options across LA. It can also help to compare scheduling flexibility, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach to recovery. Reading bios closely can show whether a therapist uses a nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed approach and has experience supporting people through changes over time.
Addiction therapy in Los Angeles can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who may accept a range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer profile details, availability, and estimated costs upfront, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
