Dr. Jennifer Arias, PsyD
Trauma‑Informed Psychologist • Couples & Family Specialist • Bilingual (English/Spanish)
Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Dr. Jennifer Arias, a licensed Latinx psychologist in Los Angeles, California. I work with young adults, women, first-generation college students, and busy professionals who are tired of just getting through life and are ready to live with intention, clarity, and self-trust.
As a fellow high-achiever, over-functioner, and recovering perfectionist, I know how exhausting it can be to carry too much—especially when you feel like you always have to hold it together. The pressure to be strong, successful, and available to everyone else can leave little room for you.
In our work together, we’ll slow things down. We’ll look at the deeper patterns—rooted in family, culture, and history—that may be driving your anxiety, burnout, or people-pleasing. I helping you connect the dots between your past and present, so you can move forward with more freedom, authenticity, and joy.
My passion is helping women—especially women of color—find their voice beneath the noise of Fear, Obligation, and Guilt (the “FOG” that can cloud so much of life). So many of us were taught to survive, not to thrive.
You might notice that no matter how much you achieve, the same worries keep showing up. It never quite feels like enough — and deep down, you wonder if you will ever feel like enough.
This is where I come in. Together, we’ll explore the why — often many whys — behind what keeps you feeling stuck. We’ll make sense of the painful experiences that left their mark, what happened and what you didn’t get, so you can gain the understanding and clarity you’ve longed for.
I specialize in helping women move through the inner barriers that hold them back in leadership and life — and in helping people reclaim the parts of themselves that have been sidelined or silenced, whether a creative spark, a sense of hope, or a faith or spirituality that once felt alive.
There can be space for all of you again.
Therapy is a space to unlearn what no longer serves you and make space for what does.
I also work with couples who feel distant, disconnected, or stuck in painful cycles. If you’re longing to feel close again, to rebuild trust, or to remember what it’s like to be a team—there’s hope. I help partners navigate conflict with more tenderness, improved communication, and reconnect with the love that brought them together in the first place.
I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen—not just as a collection of symptoms, but as a whole person with a story that matters. Together, we’ll help you build a life and relationships that honor your strengths, your values, and your desire to make your life count—not just for others, but for yourself.
You don’t have to stay stuck in patterns that leave you feeling small, overworked, disconnected, or invisible.
You can be empowered and free. Imperfect and bravely bold. And learn to give and receive love that actually feels good.
If you’re ready to begin that journey, I’m here to help. Reach out today for a free consultation.
