Licensed as a psychotherapist since 2004 and certified in Bioenergetic Analysis, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems therapy, Jennifer York, LMFT maintains her practice at 2180 Garnet Ave Suite #3B, 92109. She earned her master’s in Clinical Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University and has served as Program Chair for the Southern California Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis. York’s therapeutic philosophy centers on attachment-based psychodynamic healing, working with clients to dismantle the mind and body defenses built in response to childhood and adult relational trauma. Active individuals in her care who integrate movement into their healing journey attend classes at Ritual Wellness Collective, a yoga and wellness studio minutes away in Pacific Beach. She also holds a Post Graduate Certificate in Art Therapy and is currently pursuing an Implicit Psychotherapy certification, adding creative and somatic dimensions to her clinical toolkit. Sessions run $200 for 60 minutes with a sliding scale available, and she accepts several major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Garnet Avenue neighbors wrapping up an afternoon appointment sometimes walk over to Cafe Athena for a relaxing Mediterranean meal. York’s women-owned practice includes free parking and wheelchair-accessible entrance.
