Jody A. Balboa, MA, LMFT, LLC

I’m a therapist who believes healing happens in real, human moments—the kind where you feel seen, supported, and safe enough to exhale. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people don’t need “fixing”; they need space, connection, and tools that actually fit their lives. I bring an integrative, mind‑body approach to therapy, blending evidence‑based practices with a deep respect for your lived experience. I work from a trauma‑informed lens, honoring the ways your nervous system has learned to protect you while helping you build new pathways toward ease, clarity, and self‑trust. Clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to, that I bring a calm presence, and that I’m not afraid to sprinkle in a little humor when it helps lighten the load. I see therapy as a place where you can show up exactly as you are—messy, hopeful, exhausted, curious, or all of the above—and still feel welcomed. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, identity, burnout, or the long arc of healing old wounds, I’m here to walk with you at your pace. My goal is simple: to help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more able to move through the world with confidence and compassion.
