Meenal Jog

Dr. Meenal Jog is a licensed psychologist who has been providing clinical services since 2020, having earned her PhD in Counseling Psychology from Lehigh University. Her primary areas of expertise involve supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and relational concerns. In her practice, Dr. Jog utilizes an integrative therapeutic framework that draws from relational psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, and multicultural perspectives, alongside mindfulness and compassion-based approaches. She adopts a relational stance, employing interpersonal feedback and insight-oriented techniques to help clients recognize the internal patterns that influence how they interpret and respond to the world. By fostering a curious and non-judgmental environment, Dr. Jog encourages clients to step away from automatic behaviors and develop a more compassionate relationship with their internal experiences. She is deeply committed to understanding how a client’s unique lived history and positions of power impact their self-perception and their interactions with others. Her clinical work is further supported by evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness. Serving adults in San Jose and across California, she provides care in both English and Hindi. Outside of her clinical practice, she finds balance through hiking, camping, cooking, and enjoying time with her family and friends.
