There is no path to happiness; happiness is the path.” – Buddha

Hi, my name is Tashina Jaques and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’ve been in the field of social work for ten years and have truly enjoyed getting to know clients and families. My experience ranges from school social work to the inpatient hospital setting. In my roles, I’ve worked with children and adults with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and various other areas. I have worked in group homes for foster youth as well as in-home behavior support for children with anger management needs, self-esteem issues, trauma, and self-harm thoughts and behaviors. My work in child welfare allowed me to hone my skills in creating a safe space for victims of neglect and abuse and I was able to engage in Motivation Interviewing strategies along with goal-oriented treatment plans for parents and other family members.

I was born and raised in California and have been in San Diego since 2008. I attended San Diego State University for my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, both in Social Work. In my free time, I enjoy yoga, meditation, and getting outside to cycle or hike with my family and dogs.
