OUR TEAM
Andrea A. Jones, MA, MM, LMFT
Hello! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT ), EMDR trained, with 20 years' experience in mental health. Both trauma and performance psychology naturally inform my general outlook, promoting engagement and comfort in what can be an intense process.
I hold a Master's in Psychology from Phillips Graduate Institute and a Master's in Voice Performance from The Manhattan School of Music. I have since worked in private practice, as a Crisis Team member, and extensively within the hospital system at all levels of care (outpatient, IOP/PHP, inpatient, RTC/Detox.) As a consultant, I have written behavioral/placement/aftercare recommendations for developmentally disabled and mentality ill (DDMI)/Regional Center clients, and I have served as a Mental Health Therapist II in an acute psychiatric unit in Corrections. I trained in EMDR at EMDR Center of the Rockies, and enjoy guest lecturing in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at the Rossier School of Education (USC.)
Musically, I am excited to be collaborating with a phenomenal new partner and can be found digging daily through the Great American Songbook. My domestic partner and I host bimonthly musical salons with a core group of friends, and enjoy simple pleasures such as history, writing/language, travel, our pets, and tracking the escapades of our adult children.
OUR TEAM
Eva Estrada, EdD, LMFT
Hello, my name is Eva or Dr. E (as my students call me.) I have worked in the mental health field since 1986 and became a Licensed Marriage in 1999. I completed my undergrad and graduate work from California State University Long Beach. And after a long educational hiatus to work and raise children, I completed my Educational Doctorate from the University of Southern California in 2022 (Fight On!)
I have worked in various capacities in the mental health field over the past 39 years. From inpatient psychiatric services to outpatient community clinics to private practice, I have been blessed to work with various people, of various ages, from various communities providing both mental health and substance abuse interventions.
Outside of private practice, I am a psychiatric first responder, visiting emergency rooms and assisting people in psychiatric crisis. I am also a part-time lecturer for the USC Rossier School of Education’s Marriage and Family Therapy program. A strong social justice program, Rossier allows me to teach decolonized critical thinking and the decolonization of the therapy process.
On a more personal note, I have been in recovery and sober since 1987. As a queer Xicana, I am a mother to four and partner to one. My family is my core. I have a love for women’s basketball, both college and pro. I have two dogs and a cat that occupy most of my free time.
