Jess Beck McCormick, AMFT

I see therapy as a space where people can pause, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that have been quieted or constrained. I work with adults, couples, and transitional-age youth, and I’m especially drawn to clients exploring sexuality and desire, queer and trans identity, and diverse sexual interests and relationship structures. I also support people working through religious or purity-culture–based shame and those wanting to deepen authenticity in their intimate lives.

My clinical lens is rooted in feminist, person-centered, and narrative approaches, and I’m guided by the belief that clients are the authors of their own lives. I bring a grounded, collaborative presence to the room—helping clients make meaning of their experiences while cultivating agency, connection, and self-trust. My work is relational, trauma-informed, and centered on curiosity, empowerment, and spaciousness.

I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Santa Barbara, and hold a bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley. I am currently completing Sex Therapy Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance. My background includes community mental health, youth crisis intervention, and outpatient work with individuals and couples. I’m particularly passionate about sexual health, LGBTQIA+ wellbeing, identity development, and helping clients move from shame into expansion and alignment.

I would be honored to create a space with you where your full self is welcomed, and your story can evolve in meaningful ways.

My fee is $155 per session, and I offer limited sliding scale spaces. If you have any questions or would like to explore the possibility of working together, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
