Dr. Simrin Jaglan
Clinical Psychologist

Hello! I have almost 10 years of experience in providing therapy and have been in private practice for the past four years. Originally from Chicago, IL, I was part of a group practice serving the Chicagoland area, living the 'windy city' life. Life's journey brought me out to Southern California, where I followed my dream of establishing my own private practice, Embrace Psych. I continue to serve Chicagoans via online therapy, while planting new professional roots in Orange County, CA - providing both online and in-person therapy to those who seek it. I am proud to be a psychologist, and hope to help normalize the importance of being proactive & preventive with our emotional healthcare. Together, we will determine how you can best embrace your mental health & wellness. I look forward to hearing from you!

Expertise

As a Licensed clinical psychologist, I have extensive training in incorporating the information that you share with the latest science has to offer, to get a full understanding of the struggles and barriers in your life. 

We, together, will develop a personalized plan that meets your goals, whether for self-growth purposes or symptom reduction. 

Evidence shows that regardless of the type of struggle, therapy seems to work by helping us learn how to better live with what’s inside, so life is more meaningful on the outside!

Approach

My style is compassionate, values-based, and action-oriented, with an emphasis on mindfulness. 

I will help you embrace life’s challenges, using your personal strengths and resources, to move in the direction of Desired growth. 

We will gain insight into past, present, and future challenges that are keeping you stuck in unhelpful patterns that you hope to change.

Are you struggling to find purpose, focus, or be present in your life? Not being clear on your values and goals can result in feeling stuck. It may feel like time is just rushing by without you. Sometimes it feels like we are just playing certain roles in life, but having a meaningful and well-balanced life is so much more than that. Do you know how you want to live your life? If so, are you actually living it the way you want? It’s possible to be more grounded, present, and aware of yourself and the world around you.

“Self-love” is more than just liking what you see in the mirror or how you look on paper. It is rooted in self-esteem, confidence, and compassion for your whole self, flaws & all. How often do you check in on yourself? Is your inner voice more of a friend or a foe? You can choose to invest in yourself & build a strong, healthy, and mutually beneficial relationship with someone who can always be there for you…YOU.

What to Expect in
Therapy & Counseling

  • The work we do will be tailored to your needs. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” treatment and we will determine what the best plan is for you! 
  • Therapy will help you approach your concerns in new ways. You will learn new skills, gain different perspectives, be listened to without judgment or expectations, and be encouraged to self-reflect on a deeper level. 
  • The therapist-client relationship is important and finding the right fit is key. I value your health and will prioritize your well-being during this process. Beginning therapy can be overwhelming for some & I hope to make it as comfortable as I can for you!
Initial Consultation
Whether it be by phone call, email, or a complimentary in-person meeting; we will briefly discuss your interest in therapy prior to a first session. I will answer any questions you may have & help you determine if we would be a good match for your goals.
Schedule Now!
1st Appointment
We call this the 'Intake Session'. This a 50-minute meeting where we will complete necessary paperwork, discuss your current concerns, review history, and specify goals for therapy.

2nd Appointment & Beyond
We will continue to meet for 50-min sessions (typically weekly at first) as we work through a customized therapy plan to meet your personal goals.

Schedule Now!
Timeline
It is difficult to predict an exact timeline for therapy. It will differ for each person, depending on personal goals, readiness for therapy, & current concerns. We will assess your therapy plan as you progress, making any changes as needed. We are client-focused, with you being the priority, and will tailor our approach accordingly.

Online Therapy

I provide therapy both in-person and via telehealth. Telehealth (or teletherapy, online therapy, online counseling, virtual therapy, etc.) is provided primarily through video format; however, may also be audio only if you do not have access to video. Online therapy* is a desirable option for many individuals and is scientifically proven to be just as effective as in-person therapy. I am licensed to provide online therapy to those residing in California or Illinois.

I am experienced in providing online therapy & have found many people to benefit from the convenience, flexibility, and ease of connecting online. For some, a hybrid of in-person and online sessions may be ideal.

If you are interested in my services and don’t live in Southern California (or just can’t make it to my office), don’t fret, we may still be able to work together! Contact me today to learn more!

*Online therapy may not be clinically recommended for all. We will determine if it is a good fit for you in our initial session.
