Jane Alt

Jane Alt

Therapist

Virtual • California


Jane Alt, MA, LMFT, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who takes a direct, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy. She specializes in working with individuals, couples, and families, providing a safe and supportive space where clients can explore challenges, gain insight, and create meaningful change.

Jane believes each individual brings unique experiences, emotions, and perspectives into relationships and family systems. Whether working with an individual or a couple or family, she focuses on the whole person while recognizing the impact relationships can have on emotional well-being. Her goal is to guide clients from awareness into action and help them move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Jane works with couples and families who want to understand one another better but may struggle to find common ground through effective communication. She provides a space for individuals to share corrective experiences, develop new perspectives, and build healthier patterns of connection. By working with all individuals within the couple or family structure, Jane helps clients improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen relationships.

Jane earned her Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, from Pepperdine University. She is a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) and the Women's Association of Addiction Treatment (WAAT), Los Angeles Chapter. She currently consults at Reconnect, a trauma-focused facility, and is continuing her training in EMDR.

From her own journey, Jane understands that finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. She believes deciding to take action is the first step toward a more balanced life. Whether supporting an individual, couple, or family, Jane meets clients where they are and helps them move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Dr. Jamie Johnson

Dr. Jamie Johnson

Therapist

Virtual • California


I bring over 11 years of behavioral health leadership experience, including senior clinical executive roles overseeing adolescent and family treatment programs, alongside my work as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I’m dually licensed in California and North Carolina, a BBS-Approved Clinical Supervisor, and an adjunct professor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I help train the next generation of clinicians.

My clinical approach is grounded in Family Consciousness, a framework I developed through my doctoral research to help individuals and families deepen closeness, heal relational wounds, and reconnect with their sense of purpose and identity. I work with individuals and families navigating life transitions, relationship strain, identity development, and the search for greater self-understanding and connection.

I believe therapy works best as a collaborative, honest, and deeply human process. Whether you’re working through a specific challenge or simply want to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to walk alongside you with clinical expertise and genuine care.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I truly love walking alongside people as they work through what’s weighing on them. Maybe anxiety has taken over your days, or depression has made everything feel heavier, or old experiences keep showing up in ways you didn’t expect. Some of the areas I have experience with include anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, self esteem, substance use and addiction, and women’s issues, among others. Whatever brought you here, you’ve found a warm and caring place to start, and my hope is to help you feel more seen and like yourself again.
