About Jenna W.

I'm currently a graduate student at Vanguard University of Southern California, pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology with a dual licensure track to become both a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I earned my B.A. in Psychology with honors from California State University, Fullerton, where I also served as a Teacher’s Assistant and Undergraduate Course Assistant—experiences that deepened my passion for mental health and education.Professionally, I work at Ocean View School District ABA Instructional Assistant, providing one-on-one support to students. I use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and therapeutic strategies to help students thrive both academically and emotionally in their school environment. I am also a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee at Straight Talk Clinic in Santa Ana. I support clients through their healing journey, however that looks like.My journey blends education, psychology, and real-world impact—and I’m excited to continue growing as both a clinician and an advocate for accessible, compassionate mental health care for all.
