Meet Jessica Craig, MA (4701)
Licensed Educational Psychologist #4701 | Associate Marriage & Family Therapist (Supervised)
Helping You and Your Family Be Fully Seen — Beyond Labels, Beyond Struggles
Hi there, I’m Jessica. I believe that real growth begins when someone is truly seen — not just what’s on the surface, but the whispered fears, the quiet hopes, the childhood expectations, the moments you started believing you’re ‘too much’ or ‘not enough.’ I started down this path because I, too, have lived in that space of inner chaos and longing. It’s why I became both a therapist and an educational psychologist: to help people make sense of the internal and external forces that shape us, and find not just relief, but clarity, voice, and confidence.
My journey has taken me through classrooms, testing rooms, and therapy offices. For over a decade I worked as a school psychologist—evaluating learning and behavioral challenges, working with students who kept getting lost under the pressure to perform, and sitting with families trying to piece together what was happening behind the grades, behaviors, or anxiety. Then I stepped into clinical therapy settings where neurodivergence, trauma, dual-diagnosis, and life upheaval brought clients longing not just for coping, but for real transformation.
What I Offer
Because I hold both roles, my work is layered:
Psychoeducational Assessment & Collaboration
I help children, teens, and adults discover how cognitive, emotional, and learning processes interact. What looks like ‘laziness’ might be processing speed, or what feels like ‘behavior problems’ might be anxiety—or both. I partner with schools, parents, and other professionals to build plans that honor the whole person.Therapeutic Healing & Growth
In therapy, I draw from cognitive-behavioral strategies, psychodynamic inquiry, solution-focused work, and somatic awareness. I believe healing involves both insight and action. Together we explore what’s under the pain, tend to wounds, and build tools so you can live aligned with your values, strengths, and deepest self.
Jessica provides individual therapy and psychoeducational assessment services for children, teens, and adults. She works in-person in Hermosa Beach and offers telehealth sessions and consultation throughout California. Licensed Educational Psychologist #4701.
Jessica’s Approach
Therapy and assessment with me are about more than solving problems — they’re about understanding the whole person. Whether we’re exploring learning differences, ADHD, autism, anxiety, or life stressors, my goal is to help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and create a path forward that feels both clear and doable.
I work relationally, which means our time together is a true conversation — one where you or your child feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll notice patterns, explore the emotions and beliefs that may be driving them, and uncover what’s needed to move from overwhelm to clarity.
Because I am both a licensed educational psychologist and a therapist, my work is highly integrative. I combine psychoeducational assessment, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and psychodynamic exploration to give clients a fuller picture of themselves — not just a diagnosis or label, but a deeper understanding of strengths, challenges, and next steps.
My style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. I bring structure when it’s helpful and flexibility when life feels chaotic, always with the goal of helping you or your family feel more grounded and empowered. Whether you are seeking answers about learning and behavior, support for neurodivergence, or therapy for anxiety, emotional regulation, or big life changes, we’ll approach it together — thoughtfully, with curiosity and care.
