About me

I’m a licensed mental health professional in California with 19 years of experience helping people build healthier, more connected relationships. My passion and primary focus is working with couples—whether you're facing communication breakdowns, navigating conflict, recovering from betrayal, or simply wanting to deepen your connection.

In addition to couples work, I’ve supported individuals dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ concerns, and other challenges that often intersect with relationship struggles. I understand how isolating and overwhelming these issues can feel—not just for individuals, but for the partnerships they’re part of.

I believe every couple has a unique story, and I approach each relationship with empathy, curiosity, and deep respect. My role is to help both partners feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change—together. Whether you're repairing or rebuilding, I’m here to guide you with warmth and practical tools to support lasting growth and intimacy.

Taking that first step toward healing—individually or as a couple—is an act of courage. I’m honored to support you on that journey.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jillian Barna. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Written on Apr 22, 2026 after therapy with Jillian for 10 months on issues concerning relationship

I appreciate Dr. Barna being able to communicate with me in the way I need. She’s knowledgeable and professional, yet personable.
