Coaching & Counseling for Your Wellbeing
                     Jean T. Rothman, MFT, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, California

About Me

I am a licensed therapist for preschoolers, adults, seniors, and couples who wish to de-stress, get along better, find more balance, and feel happier. 

I enjoy counseling individuals, as well as any combination of people who want to make their relationship easier and more joyful, such as parents-and-child, business partners, siblings,  engaged couples,  and so on.

​In addition to my formal training in psychotherapy, I also have done years of study in mindfulness, spirituality, meditation, metaphysics, and Energy Psychology. I am also a writer, editor, speaker, and life coach.

I believe my lived experience as a daughter, mother, wife, single woman, sister, aunt and friend  has greatly contributed to my ability to listen to and understand other people going through their own challenges in life, and I consider it an honor to be entrusted with the job of being a therapist. ​
