Therapist in San Jose for eating disorders, trauma, PTSD, EMDR, perinatal, adolescents and adults.

Hi, I’m Jamie Humphrey, LCSW.

I’m a therapist and licensed clinical social worker serving the greater San Jose area. I entered the helping field after embarking on my own healing journey. My lived experience instilled an immense amount of compassion and purpose in me. I absolutely love my job and I am honored by those who entrust me to do it.

I attended the University of Southern California from 2011 to 2015 for my Master’s degree in Social Work with specializations in Mental Health and Systems of Recovery. I am licensed to provide therapy in the state of California. I also have my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and extensive post-graduate training in the treatment of eating disorders, healing from complex trauma, and treatment modalities including EMDR.

I have worked in a wide variety of settings including private practice, residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient treatment programs, the ER and a high school. I’ve created a program serving teens as they transition from adolescence to adulthood, as well as trained numerous organizations in implementing trauma-informed care and identifying eating disorders in general mental health care settings.

When I’m not working as a therapist, you’ll catch me hanging out with my partner and son or curling up with a good book. I also love sunny days at the beach, hiking our mountain trails and every dog I meet.
