Licensed Clinical Social Worker Jacqui Small (LCS21926) brings a dual clinical foundation in pediatric medical social work and school-based behavioral health to her La Mesa therapy practice near Lake Murray. Her evidence-based treatment modalities — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, play therapy, and motivational interviewing — align with the counseling approaches employed by group practices such as Healing Balance Therapy Inc. on the La Mesa therapy corridor. Small earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from Pennsylvania State University and her Master of Social Science from Bryn Mawr College's School of Social Work, with concentration in practice with individuals, families, and groups. Her concurrent role as a medical social worker at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego informs crisis-intervention competence applied to outpatient cases, with physical rehabilitation needs for pediatric patients coordinated through providers such as Grossmont Orthopedic Physical Therapy. Clinical specialization spans ADHD, learning disabilities, trauma and grief processing, anxiety and depression, and school-based consultation using NASW-aligned ethical frameworks across child, adolescent, adult, couples, and family modalities.
