Hi there! My name’s Jake. I’m an associate marriage and family therapist in Bakersfield, Ca. 

I’m no hotshot company, or a robot. I’m an actual person.

Alright, let’s get right to it.

So, I’ve finally decided to follow through with an idea, and channel some energy into 

developing a local therapist directory. Sounds simple, right?

Well, it’s definitely more than I bargained for, but I love Kern County and the many communities within it. 

So, why not add another resource?

I get it though. There are other great places like PsychologyToday, GoodTherapy, BetterHelp and dozens of other fantastic companies that give some pretty good features. And if you’ve got a profile there, keep it!

But, time and time again my clients and friends from all walks of life tell me:

“It’s taken me a long time to find a therapist right for me.”

and

“I get stuck looking for professionals online. I don’t know what to trust.”

This is where Kern Wellness Counseling comes in, fingers crossed.

What was once a simple blog that catered to a small audience has now gone rouge to mature 

into what I hope to be a helpful local treasure for mental health professionals like yourself.
