Hi there! My name is Jessica Parmar and I am a therapist who works with adults and teens. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a teacher, which continues to shape how I connect, support, and engage with clients. I’m warm, approachable, and genuine, and I care deeply about the work we do together. I’ll meet you at your pace, but I’m not afraid to challenge you when it supports your growth.
Hi! Are you curious about what therapy would be like? Or maybe you’ve gone before and are back for more? One of my first goals is to make sure you feel at ease with the therapeutic process. You don’t have to worry about what to say or where to start. It’s my honor and duty to ask the questions and listen intently. I’m here for you!
I'm a licensed psychotherapist with 34 years of experience. I do my best to meet you "where you are" and to offer compassionate presence as you progress through your personal process of self-discovery, self-identification, and evolution.
I'm honored to be part of your journey of transformation. I approach sessions in collaboration, as you learn to free yourself from judgment, criticism, and pain; to change negative perceptions that do not serve; and to experience more ease and peace in life.
My hope is to help the client and families reach their goals and to provide them with a safe and non-judgmental place to do that. When working with a client, I will assist in allowing the clients to process their feelings and thoughts in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and have a strong understanding of deaf culture.
I have many years of experience working with couples, families, adults, young adults, teens, and children.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Los Angeles
Los Angeles has a wide network of therapists across neighborhoods like Downtown LA, Santa Monica, Silver Lake, and the Valley, so finding the right fit starts with knowing what you want support for. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or work stress. As you compare therapists in Los Angeles, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a city as large as LA, more options can make the search feel less direct. Location, format, and schedule can help narrow the list. You might prefer an office near home, work, or a transit route, or a virtual appointment that fits around your calendar. It can also help to filter by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can give you a clearer sense of how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with clients.
Therapy in Los Angeles 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 licensed therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
