Jeana De Lay

Jeana De Lay is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with 17 years of experience. She specializes in self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression, and works with men, women, children, and couples.

She has experience helping people who have endured past trauma or who are navigating life transitions, using both long- and short-term therapy approaches for adults to help them find their voice. Jeana aims to offer a warm, caring, and understanding presence so clients feel comfortable and safe throughout the counseling process.

In addition to individual and couples work, she teaches parenting skills designed to help caregivers interact, communicate, and discipline children at different stages of development in ways that are loving and consistent. As a Life Coach, she views coaching as a bridge from where a person is now to where they want to be. Her coaching is goal-oriented - identifying personal development issues that connect clients to their goals, helping them release past stumbling blocks, and supporting them in achieving future life goals and moving onto a successful path.

Jeana collaborates with clients to build specific plans, which can include tailored homework assignments intended to advance their vision and ultimate life goal. She supports clients in defining treatment goals that often involve an increased sense of well-being, stronger relationships, improved communication, changes in behavior patterns, and ultimately discovering their a-ha moment.
