Meet the clinician: Dr. Jessica Hogan
Dr. Hogan in her own words:
I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on multiple frameworks to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. At the foundation, my work is person-centered and Autistic-centered-- grounded in respect for your lived experience, autonomy, and strengths.
I am informed by psychodynamic and trauma-informed perspectives, helping us explore how past experiences and relational patterns may shape your present.
I am also informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), which means I draw on the understanding that we all carry different parts of ourselves that may need care or compassion, even though I am not formally trained in the model.
While our work is often exploratory and depth-oriented, I also incorporate practical tools when they’re helpful-- CBT, DBT, ACT whether that’s learning emotion regulation skills, problem solving how to navigate a situation, or developing strategies for daily challenges,
The therapy space we create together is collaborative, flexible, and deeply affirming.
My goal is to support you in making meaning, finding relief, and cultivating a life that feels more aligned and sustainable for you.
Who I Work Best With
Many of the people I work with are autistic and ADHD (AuDHD), often high-achieving in their careers, academics, or creative lives. They are deeply capable and motivated, but may also feel the weight of burnout, masking, perfectionism, or chronic exhaustion.
I especially enjoy working with adults who are on the post-identification journey—those who discovered they are autistic and/or ADHD later in life. This stage often brings a mix of clarity, grief, relief, and questions about “what now?” Together, we explore what this new understanding means for you, how it reshapes your story, and how you can build a life that honors your neurodivergence rather than working against it.
My ideal client is ready to slow down, reflect, and seek sustainable ways of living, working, and relating—not just pushing through, but cultivating rest, authenticity, and joy.
Looking for virtual therapy or psychological evaluations in California or Minnesota? Dr. Hogan’s got you.

Disclaimers:
We want to affirm our commitment to neurodiversity and inclusive language practices. We utilize identity-first language, acknowledging the preferences of the community we serve. Therefore, you may notice us referring to individuals as "adhd people" rather than "people with adhd." This choice reflects our dedication to respecting the autonomy and identity of each individual. Studies have indicated that many within the autistic community prefer the term "autistic person," emphasizing the importance of recognizing and honoring diverse perspectives. Thank you for joining us on this journey of understanding and acceptance.
Land Acknowledgment: We live and work on the unseated territories of the Wahpekute and Chumash peoples, we pay respects to their elders past and present. We encourage folks to explore the ancestral lands they live and work on, and to learn about the Native communities that live there, the treaties that have been broken. If folks feel called, we encourage them to consider taking actions to support Native communities, reparations, and land back movements (see other resources on the references page).
A note on language: The language in the DSM, including the use of the word disorder (D in acronym), some find this harmful, while others prefer the language “disorder.” When this language is used, it is because, as mental health professionals, we need to use this same language when referring to “diagnoses” in the DSM. In addition some Autistics find the use of the level system helpful in identifying the level of support needed, while others view it as an overly simplistic way of defining something that’s fluid, and may feel it’s harmful and minimizing. The beauty is that each individual gets to choose what language feels validating and affirming to them. Inspired by Dr. Jennifer Mullan, we use the term, “therapy participant” rather than “client” or “patient,” as we work toward decolonizing therapy.
Educational Purposes: The information presented here is for educational purposes, and not meant to diagnose, treat or cure medical conditions or challenges, including neurodivergence (including mental health challenges), or physical health.
