Jennifer Hanassab, AMFT

I'm Jenn, a Persian-Jewish associate marriage and family therapist (AMFT #140601) supervised by Janet (Bayramyan) Generales, LCSW #88575. My practice is dedicated to supporting families, couples, and individuals navigating ADHD, relationship conflicts, and trauma-offering a compassionate space for understanding and healing.

Our Work Together

Inviting a therapist into your inner world takes courage. In our sessions, we'll create a warm and open environment to explore how past experiences shape your present-particularly in the realms of emotional regulation, relationship dynamics, and trauma healing. My approach is direct yet deeply empathetic, empowering you to navigate challenges, break free from repetitive relationship patterns, and cultivate greater fulfillment in your life.

Together, we will:

✔ Explore emotional regulation and its impact on relationships
✔ Identify and break unhelpful cycles in dating and partnerships
✔ Develop confidence in expressing your needs with clarity and vulnerability
✔ Gain deeper insight into behavioral patterns and practical tools for change

Our sessions are engaging, interactive, and tailored to your unique needs, integrating various therapeutic modalities to address the root causes of distress.

Specialized Offerings: Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy & EMDR

In addition to traditional therapy, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for clients seeking deeper breakthroughs in their healing journey. KAP combines ketamine treatment with psychotherapy to support individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and treatment-resistant patterns. Research shows that, when integrated thoughtfully, KAP can create profound shifts in self-awareness and emotional resilience. If you're curious about whether KAP could be a helpful addition to our work together, I'd love to explore this with you.

I am also trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that helps process trauma by targeting deeply rooted attachment wounds. This approach is particularly helpful for individuals struggling with relational trauma, childhood experiences that impact self-worth, and unresolved emotional pain.

For some clients, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted EMDR, combining the powerful trauma-processing capabilities of EMDR with the expanded state of awareness that ketamine provides. This integrative approach can enhance emotional processing, allowing clients to access and reprocess difficult memories with greater ease, reduced distress, and deeper insight. By leveraging the neuroplasticity-enhancing effects of ketamine alongside EMDR, clients may experience accelerated healing, emotional breakthroughs, and a greater sense of inner clarity.

My Background & Approach

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from UCLA and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from USC. My training in the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), Attachment-Focused EMDR, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy enhances my ability to support clients in trauma processing, nervous system regulation, and relational healing.

No matter your background or experiences, you deserve a space where you are heard, seen, and understood. I am committed to walking alongside you as you gain insight, break through barriers, and build a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.

If you're ready to begin this transformative journey, I warmly invite you to reach out. Let's take the next step together.
