Jade Dearing

Jade Dearing

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 29 mi away • Westlake Village, CA


Trauma-Informed. I specialize in treating adults with unresolved childhood traumas / C-PTSD. I deeply understand how early life experiences shape present-day struggles—I specialize in helping people heal from those roots, not just manage surface-level symptoms.

I am trained in powerful, evidence-based and experiential modalities like EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Not one-size-fits-all—I tailor treatment to each individual’s nervous system, attachment patterns, and inner world.

Most importantly, I show up as a therapist: I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients can be fully seen, heard, and validated. I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and I meet clients with compassion, patience, and respect for their pace.

I am committed to helping clients work through inner emotional conflicts so they can move toward a more stable, fulfilling, and connected life—not just symptom relief, but real, lasting transformation.

Happy patient looking away

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 Manhattan Beach

Searching for therapists in Manhattan Beach starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Manhattan Beach has a smaller local care market than nearby Los Angeles, so your best-fit therapist may offer in-person sessions nearby, virtual appointments, or both. Some people prefer a therapist with an office close to home or work, while others choose virtual care for more schedule options. As you narrow your search, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Manhattan Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for Manhattan Beach therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
