Jennifer Gold is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who creates a warm, supportive environment where families can navigate life's inevitable changes with greater understanding and flexibility.
She specializes in helping families move beyond patterns of conflict and disconnection toward deeper communication, mutual support, and adaptive responses to life's challenges.
Her therapeutic approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She also has specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
As a faculty member in the MFT program at the University of Southern California, she also contributes to training the next generation of family therapists. Her foundational training at the Ronald McDonald House at Children's Hospital Los Angeles shaped her understanding that supporting the entire family system is the most effective way to help each individual navigate difficult experiences.
Education & training
Jennifer holds a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR. She is faculty in the MFT program at the University of Southern California.
We are social creatures, wired to prioritize belonging and relationships. When families feel disconnected, everyone suffers. On the other hand, when families come together to work on their problems, just showing up is a huge step in the right direction: what has been ignored is now being addressed, and, as the saying goes, 'if you can mention it, you can manage it.' I love working with families because it is an opportunity to harness the love and commitment that's always already there, even if it feels buried beneath layers of frustration, resentment, and fear. Family therapy is a real opportunity to change dynamics and help each person thrive.
