About Jill Wichmann

Jill Wichmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 13 years of clinical experience. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from California State University Chico and completed the required licensure to practice as an LCSW. Before focusing her current practice, she spent 20 years working for a local county Behavioral Health unit, bringing deep public-sector experience to her therapeutic work.

Jill combines professional training and personal insight to support people facing addictions and a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma and post-traumatic stress, bipolar disorder, panic, and compassion fatigue. She also works with relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, anger, codependency, and a variety of process and substance addictions. Her additional focus areas include domestic violence, postpartum depression, isolation and loneliness, and challenges related to communication and abandonment.

Her clinical approach is integrative and evidence-informed, drawing from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Jill tailors interventions to each person, applying mindfulness and practical skills alongside exploratory narrative and attachment work to address both symptoms and underlying patterns.

Jill facilitates domestic violence groups and notes personal experience with domestic violence, which informs a trauma-aware and empathetic style. She describes empathy and compassion as central to the therapeutic process and aims to help people recognize their worth through collaborative work. Jill is a single mother of two adolescents, and that lived experience contributes to her perspective on family and relational dynamics.

Jill is not currently accepting new clients. Prospective clients seeking a licensed professional with extensive experience in addictions, trauma, and mood-related concerns may find her background particularly relevant.
