Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica Luiz, a virtual clinical psychologist serving adults in California and Maryland. I offer therapy that’s grounded in ACT and CBT and led by compassion, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you’re ready for therapy that meets you where you are—and gently helps you move forward—you’re in the right place.

Whether you're seeking support as an individual, a couple, or a clinician, I offer services that are collaborative, practical, and tailored to your lived experience. My work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and culturally responsive care. Together, we clarify what matters to you and build flexible strategies to help you move toward it—with honesty, integrity, and compassion.

If something here resonates, I invite you to explore more. I’m here when you’re ready.

Individual therapy

One-on-one therapy offers a supportive space to explore what matters most to you—whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, identity shifts, or major life transitions. Together, we’ll clarify your values, understand patterns that no longer serve you, and build tools for meaningful, sustainable change.

Using evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I support you in cultivating emotional flexibility, insight, and self-compassion—without bypassing the hard stuff. Therapy is collaborative, culturally responsive, and paced to meet your needs.

Whether you’re looking to process a recent loss, unlearn harsh self-criticism, reconnect to purpose, or just feel less overwhelmed, our work will be rooted in honesty, depth, and a genuine commitment to your growth.

Couples therapy

Couples therapy provides a supportive space to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect. Whether you're navigating communication challenges, life transitions, intimacy struggles, or lingering resentment, our work focuses on rebuilding trust, strengthening emotional safety, and honoring each partner’s voice.

Using frameworks like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples move out of rigid patterns and toward greater understanding, flexibility, and connection. Together, we’ll explore both the practical and emotional dynamics that shape your relationship—without assigning blame.

This work is affirming, trauma-informed, and inclusive of all relationship structures, including monogamous, polyamorous, and blended families.

professional consultation

I offer reflective, collaborative consultation for therapists, clinical teams, and organizations seeking support with complex cases, burnout prevention, cultural humility, or values-based practice. Together, we explore what’s showing up—for you and your clients—with honesty, curiosity, and clinical integrity.

Whether you're navigating countertransference, ethical dilemmas, or just feeling stuck, consultation provides a space to pause, re-center, and deepen your work. I specialize in ACT, grief and trauma, identity and relational dynamics, and working with BIPOC and marginalized communities.

This isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about making room for insight, growth, and sustainable care.

presentations & workshops

I offer interactive, research-backed presentations and workshops designed to support mental health, emotional resilience, and values-aligned living. Whether you're a workplace, clinical team, school, or community organization, I tailor each session to your audience’s needs—combining evidence-based strategies with grounded, relatable delivery.

Topics include (but aren't limited to): burnout prevention, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, grief literacy, and culturally responsive care. All offerings center accessibility, inclusivity, and practical tools participants can use right away.

Let’s co-create something meaningful—whether it’s a keynote, lunch-and-learn, retreat, or training series.
