Jasmine Dyjak

Jasmine Dyjak is a licensed clinical social worker (CA LCSW 91012) and trained yoga instructor practicing in California with 13 years of therapy experience. She works with adults aged 18 to 59 and addresses stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma-related and depressive conditions, with a specialty in working with gay clients and clients who identify with liberal perspectives.

Her clinical practice integrates trauma-informed methods, relational science, somatic techniques, cognitive and experiential strategies, and attachment-based psychodynamic perspectives. Sessions are structured and authentic, and her work is grounded in current scientific approaches to mental health.

Jasmine seeks to understand each person she meets, balancing a guiding presence with openness to follow the client’s lead as they clarify goals and passions. Her style is warm and compassionate, meeting people where they are while maintaining clear therapeutic direction.

Her interest in mental health began at 19, when she set a clear vocational goal to become a clinical social worker. She later received the Mental Health Training Program stipend from the state of California and has counseled in settings that include group private practices, the Marine Corps, Family Health Centers of San Diego, CalWORKs, and Survivors of Torture International. She describes her current role as a mental health therapist with humility and honor.

Goals are developed collaboratively based on each client’s preferences and needs. At the first appointment Jasmine asks several questions to learn about a client and their priorities; the second session continues orientation and goal-setting. It typically takes up to three appointments to determine fit and to assess whether her services are helpful for a given client.
