Hello! Thanks for comin’ by…

A little bit about Dr. Jean-Arellia Tolentino (CA: PSY34978)

I am: a psychologist, a researcher, a community organizer, an educator, a Filipina American, a daughter/mother/sis/partner, and the list may go on. I share this, because often therapists don’t, and to note that my work as a therapist has been cultivated from a myriad of paths taken to get through this thing called “life”. As such, I know that one’s life path can change, and depending on your context, can feel like you’re taking the same path yet have a vastly different journey and destination.

Thanks for crossing paths with my page, and if what I do & how I do what I do sparks your curiosity, stay for a conversation or eight, and let’s see what’s brewing!

What do I do?

Clinical Consultation

I provide clinical consultation as opportunities to connect and provide peer support or resources through the clinical process.

Individual Therapy

Individual psychotherapy tailored to your unique goals, ease your mind, and create more spaciousness in your life.

Speaking Engagements & Trainings

I love supporting organizations and businesses develop more efficient and effective processes that are focused on culturally responsive and affirming practices through engaging workshops and trainings.

How do I do it?

I love to connect with other BIPoC therapists and wellness practitioners to support and provide culturally-nuanced insight. I am passionate about connecting and sharing resources grounded in social justice, liberation & feminist psychology, Filipino and Asian American culture and identity, and internal family systems (IFS) approaches to care. I also enjoy exchanging educational & clinical tools for creative solution-focused therapy opportunities.
