Hello, I'm JILLIAN HYNYNEN, LCSW
A THERAPIST WHO GETS IT.

If you are reading this, you are probably exhausted. You are tired of pretending you have it all together, tired of the relentless pressure of the "hustle and bounce-back" culture, and tired of feeling disconnected from yourself.

You are looking for a therapist who doesn't just nod and ask, "How does that make you feel?" You are looking for someone who actually gets it.

My Clinical Approach: Real, Raw, and Anti-Diet

Perinatal, maternal mental health and eating disorder therapy in person in orange county and virtually in CA

I founded Nourish Mental Health because I saw a massive gap in how we care for mothers. Society focuses entirely on the baby, while the mother is left to navigate the intense physical, emotional, and professional whiplash completely alone.

​

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Perinatal Mental Health, Corporate Burnout, and Eating Disorder Recovery, I work at the intersection of your most hidden struggles.

​

In my office (or on our telehealth screen), there are no "bad" thoughts

​

  • I am a weight-inclusive provider. We will not fixate on shrinking your postpartum body; we will focus on expanding your life and finding peace with food.

 

  • We will dismantle the "invisible mental load" and give you actual tools to stop carrying 90% of your household's stress.

 

  • We will validate the grief, the rage, and the profound beauty of matrescence (the transition to motherhood).

​

Everyone deserves to feel at home in their body, their mind, and their healing space. And before we can change unhelpful patterns, you need to feel safe enough to examine them. I work to normalize your experiences, then help you understand what's keeping you stuck and what could work better.

 

That's why clients often say my office feels like "home" - because

real change happens when you're not in survival mode.
