About Me

Person smiling in front of a lilac bush wearing glasses and a floral embroidered vest.

I’m Jane Diep (they/she), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#154493), offering remote therapy to clients across California.

I earned my BA in Sociology and Feminist Studies from UC Santa Barbara and my MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California.

Over the years, I’ve supported LGBTQIA+ transitional-age youth experiencing homelessness, veterans living with PTSD, and multiracial couples navigating connection and communication.

As a queer, second-generation Asian American, I get what it’s like to move through the world carrying a mix of identities. I work mostly with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients 15 and up—people who want a therapist who actually gets the layers of culture, family, and figuring out who you are.

My specialties include complex trauma, identity exploration, relational stress, and communication challenges in couples.

When I’m not in session, I’m usually outside recharging in nature or negotiating with my cats, Astro and Pluto, for desk space.

My Approach

Therapy should feel human.

I believe healing happens in relationships—when you feel seen, understood, and supported without pressure to perform or hold it all together. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both care and accountability—with a decolonized and abolitionist lens that recognizes how systems of power shape our individual and collective experiences. We’ll move at a pace that honors your nervous system and your story, while also getting curious about what’s keeping you stuck.

I’m not a blank slate or someone who just nods and waits for you to talk. I’ll ask questions, offer reflections, bring in the occasional humor, and share the kind of realness that invites you to show up as your full self. I use thoughtful self-disclosure when it supports the work, and I believe in naming things gently but directly. I’m not here to fix you—I’m here to help you make sense of what’s happening, unlearn what’s no longer serving you, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

I work well with people who are open to going deeper—who want more than just coping tools and are ready to explore patterns, process pain, and build something more intentional.
