TRAUMA THERAPIST · EMDR · NARCISSISTIC ABUSE RECOVERY

It’s time to heal what your nervous system has been carrying.

JESSICA DINEEN, LPCC

You're here because you’ve been in survival mode for far too long.

On the outside, you look accomplished. On the inside, you're exhausted from managing what no one sees: strained relationships, an abusive relationship you're leaving or still recovering from, and a hope that feels risky. You don't have to keep doing this alone.

How I work

I help people heal from trauma, relationship wounds, and narcissistic abuse with a warm, structured, and deeply supportive approach.

I'm Jessica, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arkansas, based in Aliso Viejo, in Orange County. I offer secure telehealth to adults across both states.

My work is warm, structured, and specific. I help you understand the patterns behind your symptoms, then treat them with EMDR, parts work, and body-based therapy.

As a narcissistic abuse therapist trained directly by Dr. Ramani Durvasula, I help clients name what happened, loosen the trauma bond, and trust their own minds again. I've been EMDR-trained since 2016, with advanced training in complex trauma, dissociation, and EMDR for first responders and public safety personnel.

I'm also a writer. I've completed a first manuscript, Chameleon, and I'm working on a second book.

What I believe about therapy

The relationship is the foundation of healing.

Research is clear: the strongest predictor of success in therapy is your relationship with your therapist. You should feel understood and safe, or the deeper work can’t happen.

⟶

Understanding matters as much as expertise.

My work pairs specialized training with a real understanding of what trauma and narcissistic abuse feel like from the inside.

⟶

You hold the wisdom. I help you access it.

Trauma teaches you to doubt your own knowing. I bring the clinical expertise; you bring the lived wisdom. Together, we rebuild trust in yourself.
