Jared McCarthy

AMFT
✦ Supervised by
Shazia Bashiruddin

I was born and raised in San Diego, and now live in Los Angeles with my partner and two cats. I work with kids, teens, and families to help them understand their feelings and strengthen their connections with one another. I love finding ways to make therapy both fun and meaningful, with room for humor, creativity, and growth.
