Welcome to Wane Wellness!

Hi, I’m Jonathan W. Thompson II, founder & owner of Wane Wellness. I am a Black/African-American licensed psychotherapist who has a in-person practice locally in Santa Barbara and works with clients throughout California via telehealth. Thank you for reading about my practice.

About Wane Wellness

Starting Wane Wellness has been a dream of mine since I entered the field of mental health in 2010. In my work, I recognized the need for conversational and affirming talk therapy celebrating your unique intersection of identities. Working with Wane Wellness will provide a unique and collaborative therapeutic experience.

Theoretical Orientation

These are fancy words for what type of therapy is provided. You can expect an eclectic approach that is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Therapy/Modification, Psychoeducation and Trauma-Informed approaches. You can also expect that all therapy is individualized and tailored best to your needs.

Who do you serve?

Wane Wellness works with children, adolescents, adults, parents, couples and families. One specialty in my practice is my work with athletes. Mental health counseling for athletes is an extremely rewarding experience and I have been able to collaborate with athletes of all ages.

What’s next?

This blog will cover topics related to childhood through adulthood. This also includes all the life stages along the way on this journey of life. Thank you for the last approximately 101 seconds of your life that you spent here with me reading this blog post.
