Family Therapy in Napa, CA

The transformation of the human spirit has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Throughout my professional career of thirty plus years in mental health, health and drug recovery settings, I have come to revere the mind, body and spirit connection and developed an understanding of its importance in a journey towards wellness. I have had the privilege of supporting individuals of all ages, needs and backgrounds in this way and look forward to working with you to develop more awareness of these three parts for your desired level of integration. Let's talk about my tailored services for you and those you care for.

I can help you if you are motivated, tailoring what we do to your needs, talents, strengths, and challenges; I look for the best in my clients and respect how different we all are, believing in the hidden genius and wisdom in everyone. I will not judge you and focus on empathy, acceptance, understanding, and a very good connection with my clients. I enjoy people from all cultures, ethnicities, and walks of life and thus speak several languages.

Allowing yourself to experience self-compassion in all aspects of life can be profoundly important and not something that is usually taught in our society. I believe in teaching self compassion and self-love at a young age in order to have a more positive self-image and allowing more self-confidence to take place. I am passionate about empowering individuals and their families to find their voices in order to make the changes they want to make. Bringing compassion, empathy, and a multi-modality therapeutic approach allows for all of my clients and their families to feel empowered to make significant positive changes in their lives.

My name is Jason Stringer I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in the state of California. My approach to therapy is that I am curious about your experience, I aim to understand as much as I can about your experience. I do make assumptions that through exploration and feedback, we begin to paint a picture of reality that is easier to navigate. My goal is to help you reach your potential, to navigate through hard parts of the journey, and enjoy the good parts of the journey together. I have a significant history of working with people suffering from addiction issues, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.

We usually come to therapy when we feel stuck and just need someone to help us figure out how to get to the other side. I often think of the ups and downs in our lives as being like the ocean. It constantly changes, ebbs and flows. Often, during the ebbing times in our lives, we need help to figure out how to make our lives flow again or how to “hold on” until it naturally does.

My practice focuses on Type l & Type ll trauma. I am an approved provider for Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). In addition, I work with Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) to address addictive issues associated with trauma & anxiety. I also work with Internal Family Systems (Parts). My orientation includes the soma (embodiment experience) and strategies to interrupt panic episodes. How you come to perceive your lifeworld from your family of origin, work and societal influence is of value to understand how to move forward. In session we will collaborate to scaffold a framework you wish to explore in a safe space for reflection.

Sometimes we get stuck in life and need a greater level of help and/or guidance than our friends and family can provide. My goal is to help you figure out where you are, where you want to be, and how you can get there. I have practical experience and am comfortable working with a wide variety of clients and concerns.
