Czarina De Jesus (Psychotherapist) - Costa Mesa, California

Caroline D.

There are so many things I could say about Czarina as a clinician AND a person. She makes her clients feel so comfortable in the therapy room while also focuisng on evidence-based practice, growth, and meaningful progress.

She comes to session prepared--remembering what was mentioned in sessions prior, goals big and small, and celebrates her clients in a way that highlights the HUMAN element of therapy, not just the clinical.She knows your birthday, your favorite food, movies, and holidays because she wants to know YOU as an individual.

Czarina fosters a client-centered environment that is ideal for building connections, but also making therapy more impactful.
I feel grateful to know Czarina, her work ethic and her investment in her clients. She will show up for you!

A one-of-a-kind therapist! As a therapist, one of her biggest straights is her infectious personality. She is unapologetically herself (warm, kind, energetic) and clients are drawn to the type of genuineness! Because of that, kids find her engaging, teens find her relatable, and young adults find her effective. The relationship she builds with her clients is the cornerstone to change. It is clear how devoted she is to those in her care. She is responsive, has great communication, and does the little things to show that she’s listening and is paying attention. An amazing cheerleader that will challenge and support her clients unconditionally. She shows up every session ready to take on anything comes her way. You gravitate towards her warmth and welcoming presence. Getting to work with Czarina has been such a positive experience and I feel grateful for her support, inside and out of the office.

Czarina and I have worked alongside for the past few years as close licensed colleagues. Her clinical skills are incredibly professional and can provide the necessary support for her clients. She has extensive training for Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, OCD, and Trauma for children, teens, and adults. She offers collaboration with her clients to provide the most tailored treatment with up to date treatment modalities. Her personality is filled with positive energy and gentle kindness. Her encouragement as a close colleague as been nothing but genuine and supportive. I would recommend Czarina as an incredible, well-rounded therapist that can provide lasting change and a deep meaningful relationship with her clients. She rocks!

I have been working with Czarina for about 7 months. She started as my therapist with an OCD treatment program. I have struggled with OCD for as long as I can remember and despite being in therapy since I was 15, I’d never been diagnosed or properly tested for it before the program. I found most of the work I was doing with other therapists was making my anxiety worse. When I met Czarina, I was drowning in my OCD and had no clue the role it was playing in my mental health struggles. Czarina has educated me on what OCD is, how it works in the brain, and what I was doing to keep it so debilitating. Before starting treatment with her, shame and guilt ruled my life. I now have such a deeper level of compassion, understanding and dedication to who I am and the things I want. OCD is a continuous struggle, but Czarina has helped me immensely!

She’s an amazing therapist! Very sociable and knows how to connect with anyone by bringing positive energy. She also asks great questions that allows me to learn about myself by answering them. Additionally she provides great tools and feedback for me to utilize to deal with anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD. She’s the best!
