Counseling for Individuals,
Couples & Families with
Jessica Inserra, MA, AMFT
Helping clients navigate life’s transitions with greater clarity, authenticity, and connection.
You may be someone who appears to have it all together — driven, capable, and accomplished — yet privately feel overwhelmed by anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or a sense of disconnection. You may have spent years meeting expectations or pursuing success, only to realize something feels off or missing. When achievement comes at the expense of connection to yourself, your creativity, or your sense of purpose, it can leave you questioning what matters and what comes next.
Serving clients across Los Angeles and Riverside County, many of the clients I work with are navigating periods of transition — whether in career, identity, relationships, or direction — and are looking to reconnect with themselves in a more meaningful way.
Who I Work With
Individual Counseling
Many of my clients are professionals, creatives, and LGBTQ+ individuals who find themselves at an unexpected crossroads. Some are questioning long-held career paths. Others are navigating identity shifts, burnout, grief, or relationships that no longer feel sustainable. While every story is different, they share a desire to live with greater authenticity and purpose.
Couples, Families & Relationship Repair
I also work with couples and families navigating conflict, disconnection, and repair. Using a family systems lens, I support clients in strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and developing more secure, connected relationships — whether you’re facing long-standing patterns or moving through a transition together.
My Approach
Relational & Insight-Oriented
My approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in a humanistic framework. I see the therapeutic relationship as a place where new experiences can take shape — where you can feel seen, understood, and supported in trying something different. I bring curiosity, honesty, and a nonjudgmental presence to our work, and I’m comfortable engaging in the conversations that lead to meaningful change.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Family Systems theory, adapting our work to fit your needs. While we may address immediate challenges, we also focus on building emotional regulation, flexibility, and resilience over time.
About Jessica Inserra
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over twenty years in the corporate world. I understand firsthand the pressures of high-performance environments — the burnout, self-doubt, and quiet pull toward something more meaningful. That experience continues to shape my work today, allowing me to meet clients with both empathy and practical understanding.
My perspective has also been shaped by my experiences as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and as a performing artist. I aim to create a space that is affirming, attuned, and responsive to the ways identity, creativity, and lived experience intersect. I’m especially drawn to working with creatives, those exploring identity, and individuals engaging with deeper existential or spiritual questions.
Whether our work centers on relationships, life transitions, grief, trauma, anxiety, or the search for greater purpose, my goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves and move toward a life that feels more grounded, intentional, and aligned.
I graduated from Pepperdine University, summa cum laude, with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology. I am currently a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist working toward LMFT licensure. ~JESSICA
