History

Established in 2000.

Before becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I was a professional dancer and worked in advertising at USC. These endeavors required an understanding of human nature, challenge, focus, discipline and a willingness to take risks. These qualities are helpful as a psychotherapist and for clients as well. But what changed my view of reality was the death of my son. That life changing event led to grief group facilitation and giving presentations on a variety of psychological topics. My private practice is located in Pasadena, CA.

Jari Lynn S.

Business Owner

Due to my past experiences I am particularly interested in helping women and men who are facing critical life transitions, loss and grief. At such times, people need someone who accepts them, supports them and helps them facilitate change in their lives. They need someone who has experienced the loss of a loved one and knows how grief impacts one’s life. One of my goals is to provide a safe and comfortable place for people to experience their grief and talk about their losses, problems and concerns. By eventually moving beyond their discomfort they discover strengths and potential that lead them to a stronger sense of self and well-​being.
