Private Practice Announcement
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
Thank you for taking a moment to read this announcement in order to get to know me better. I am very excited to announce that I recently earned my MFT license and am now practicing privately in Santa Monica.
I specialize in working with adolescents who are presenting with disruptive behavior disorders. I’ve found that I have a deep respect for and curiosity about children and teens who are choosing to externalize their feelings, resulting in poor and dangerous decisions as well as negative consequences at home, in school and in the general community. I am certain that my ability to connect authentically with these kids is one of the main reasons I have had an extremely high success rate in terms of collaborating on and achieving goals set within the therapeutic frame.
A good referral for me would be a teenager, individually or in a family therapy setting, who fits the description above. Another great referral would be parents who feel they could use some extra help learning skills to communicate better with their teenage children.
My office is located at 1460 7th Street, Suite 206, in Santa Monica, at the corner of 7th Street and Broadway in the Torcelli Building. The neighborhood has ample street parking and easy freeway access.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my office number: 310-784-7784. I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year and thank you in advance for your referrals. In addition, I look forward to the possibility of a relationship that includes mutual referrals.
Most sincerely,
Jessica Conway, M.A., MFT

Are You Scared of Aging?
While it is understandable that most people have a natural tendency to feel uncomfortable with their own aging and mortality, there are a few in the crowd who are horrified by the natural process to the point of having a phobia.

Children, Divorce and Self-Esteem
Our self-esteem affects every dimension of our lives — school performance, peer relationships, career endeavors, intimate relationships, and parenting. If we are fortunate enough to grow up in a family in which we learn to feel comfortable in our own skin, we are more likely to live fulfilling lives, take challenging risks, and actualize our [...]
Good Person, Bad Therapy?
After twenty-seven years of practice, I can confidently say that most therapists are good people. So the likelihood of you finding one who means well, listens carefully, and cares about you is excellent. But these characteristics alone—while critical—do not guarantee good therapy. Let me give you an example from my own practice, where I often see [...]

We’ve been told it’s [...]
