Jade Dearing

Jade Dearing

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 9.3 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.

All roads lead to Rome! It doesn't matter where we jump in, if you’re ready, we’ll get there. My POV is through a Neurodiverse lens and incorporates Attachment Theory and C-PTSD with the idea that much of our conflict and distress stems from old wounds & unmet needs that can often be traced back to necessary adaptations needed to survive not only our families of origin but also societal norms and expectations. The gig of being human is hard and de-coding this blueprint can provide a path toward understanding, healing and, fulfillment. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

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 Simi Valley

Searching for therapists in Simi Valley starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or work stress. As you compare Simi Valley therapists, look for specialties and approaches listed in each profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, acceptance and commitment therapy, or family therapy. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from working together.

Simi Valley has local options for in-person therapy, while virtual therapy can expand your choices across California. This can be useful if you need appointment times that fit around work, school, caregiving, or commuting within Ventura County and nearby areas. When narrowing your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers the session format you prefer, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, listed specialties, and scheduling details in one place.

Therapy in Simi Valley can be a significant cost 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 find therapists in Simi Valley, CA who match your preferences and offer virtual or in-person appointments. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can check your coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, check your coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
