I have experience with many types of conflicts from mild to highly complicated issues stuck in the mind. Read to the right or search below for more information on myself and my business.
I put it out there. If you are willing so am I. Let's get started.






The Simple "Client-Friendly" Safe Place
Mental wellness occurs when the mind and body align and work together. We are here to help you navigate through life's challenges. We offer individualized therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic, and various behavioral therapy techniques from Physical Psychology. Our skilled practitioners hold the highest certifications and formal education in disorders, medical, addiction, behavioral, and integrative and functional health areas, all aimed at repairing and transforming the mind-body connection necessary for overcoming conflicts on your journey to wellness.
If you seek hypnotherapy services, you will be working with one of the top hypnotherapists in California, who holds a formal CCH.t Diploma from the most esteemed hypnosis educator, HMI, located in California. This program exceeds all training standards in America, providing over a year of comprehensive education in mental illness and health, with a focus on change related to disorders, disease, behavior, addiction, medical issues, and trauma—addressing what traditional psychology often overlooks. We focus on the root causes rather than just the symptoms, utilizing CBT and talk therapy techniques that often reach areas of the mind that are typically inaccessible in the short term for many individuals. Our goal is to help you resolve your challenges. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, we're here to support you with in-depth interaction and feedback. We believe in integrative practice, emphasizing that if you believe strongly enough, you can transform your situation. Let's work together to address anxiety, stress, fear, disorders, and the repetitive thoughts that have accumulated over the years or stem from childhood. Many people are unaware of how to purge or manage these feelings, or how to work with their core to release symptoms. Let’s get started!
Family dynamics can be complex and challenging. From DNA to learned patterns and self-inflicted abuse, these factors can cause individuals to feel 'stuck.'
**Psychology-Based Approaches That Align With This Philosophy**
**Mind-Body Psychology**
This is probably the closest description. The principle is that thoughts, emotions, behaviors, physical sensations, and nervous system responses are interconnected. When one changes, the others often change as well. Many individuals find that their minds hold onto stress, which can manifest physically in the body.
**Somatic Psychology**
This approach focuses on how emotional experiences become stored in the body. Examples include chronic stress, trauma responses, anxiety, physical tension, and sleep disruption. The goal is to help the nervous system return to regulation.
**Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)**
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines thoughts, beliefs, emotional reactions, and behaviors. Clients learn that changing unhelpful thinking patterns creates healthier emotional responses, paving the way for improved mental well-being.
**Positive Psychology**
This branch focuses less on symptoms and more on resilience, confidence, purpose, gratitude, and emotional strength—key areas that contribute to overall happiness and fulfillment.
**Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy Services, and Meditation**
Incorporating hypnotherapy services can further enhance individualized therapy, helping clients explore their subconscious and address deep-seated issues effectively.
Healing and personal growth are often strengthened through connection with others who share similar experiences. The HTC Therapy Group may offer select in-house group therapy programs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, designed to provide support, education, skill-building, and meaningful interaction in a safe and welcoming environment.
In addition to our therapy services, which also include hypnotherapy services, we periodically host or participate in wellness workshops, educational programs, community events, and professional training opportunities. Our team may also appear as guest speakers, presenters, or panel participants at public and private events focused on mental health, wellness, personal development, and related topics.
Many of these programs are available to current clients, patients, professionals, and members of the public who are interested in learning, growing, and connecting with others through individualized therapy.
To receive announcements about upcoming groups, workshops, speaking engagements, and special events, we invite you to join our guest notification list by contacting our office.
We understand that life can be busy, and it’s not always easy to attend in-person therapy sessions. That’s why we offer teletherapy services that enable you to connect with our licensed therapists from the comfort of your own home. Our teletherapy sessions are secure, private, and confidential, ensuring that your individualized therapy experience is HIPAA compliant. Whether you’re seeking Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or hypnotherapy services, we work with you 1 on 1 to prioritize your privacy.
Navigating your career path and managing the stresses that come with changing or maintaining your career can significantly impact how someone approaches life. This can be particularly challenging when you're uncertain about which direction to take. Our career counseling services, which include cognitive behavioral therapy and hypnotherapy services, are designed to help you explore your options, build a tailored plan, and achieve your goals. Whether you're just starting out or considering a change, we're here to assist you. Our practitioner not only has a background in mental health but also in business, having owned companies in startup, entertainment, and financing. This unique blend of experience enhances our individualized therapy sessions, providing you with the guidance needed to navigate your career challenges and development.
Personalized service tailored to your unique needs. IT IS YOUR LIFE. WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE.
OK, MAYBE YOU WERE NOT DEALT THE RIGHT CARDS. LIFE GET'S MORE DIFFICULT.

At The HTC Therapy Group, our practitioners work closely with Jessica Dawn to provide individualized therapy that supports each client's unique needs through a blend of evidence-based and holistic approaches. Services may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, traditional talk therapy, trauma-focused methods, mindfulness practices, wellness coaching, and various therapeutic modalities aimed at fostering meaningful and lasting change. We recognize that mental and emotional well-being is shaped by numerous factors such as life experiences, stress, trauma, relationships, health conditions, lifestyle habits, and family history. Therefore, we often look beyond just symptoms, exploring the connection between the mind, body, and daily life. Clients seek our hypnotherapy services and other therapies for various reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, personal growth, and wellness goals. While some prefer a traditional therapy experience, others find greater benefit in an interactive coaching approach that utilizes direct brain modalities to engage both the conscious and subconscious mind. Our goal is to help clients gain clarity, develop healthier patterns, build resilience, and create positive change. If you are ready to move beyond labels, limitations, or old patterns, we invite you to embark on a new path toward healing, growth, and greater well-being.

The HTC Therapy Group was established to meet the growing demand for extended services when Founder Jessica Dawn returned to school to study the mind and its effects on health in a business environment. Her passion for law and medicine prompted her to evolve from simply asking others questions to deeply questioning herself. Once healthy and mentally clear, she began facing health challenges due to lifestyle changes, the impact of COVID-19, and various personal obstacles. This journey into understanding the mind and body led her to explore psychology further, resulting in the opening of The Hypnotherapy Centers in Beverly Hills and Encino, where she earned her certification as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CCHt) and a diploma in Psychology. Graduating with honors and receiving an award in clinical research, she later attended the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) to enhance her knowledge of health, mind, and medical studies. With over 40 high-ranking certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and hypnotherapy services from top educators, Jessica Dawn expanded her practice across multiple locations, assisting individuals grappling with personal and emotional pain. She has worked with clients ranging from children to seniors, including public personalities. Through these interactions, she learns as much from her clients as they do from her, as many people perceive they have a conflict or disorder when, in reality, they fail to understand themselves to resolve the root causes or alleviate symptoms. This often stems from their practitioners not being willing to reinvent labels and instead focus on listening and providing feedback, which may extend beyond traditional talk therapy to include individualized therapy approaches.
Jessica Dawn Russell is the Founder of The HTC Therapy Group, providing hypnotherapy services and individualized therapy to clients throughout Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Encino, Pasadena, Studio City, and surrounding communities.
Her journey into psychology, hypnotherapy, and integrative wellness was far from traditional. After over 30 years as a successful entrepreneur, company owner, advisor, negotiator, and consultant working with business leaders, executives, entertainment professionals, and high-net-worth individuals, Jessica became increasingly fascinated by understanding human behavior, personal growth, healing, and the mind-body connection.
From a young age, Jessica was known for asking the simple yet profound question: "Why?" Her curiosity about why people think, feel, behave, succeed, struggle, heal, and sometimes feel stuck deepened through several significant life experiences, including helping family members through serious illness and witnessing the emotional impact of trauma and mental health struggles. This sparked her desire to understand the human mind and assist others in creating meaningful change.
Determined to pursue her passion, Jessica entered the fields of psychology, hypnotherapy, positive psychology, wellness, and behavioral change. She became an Accredited Clinical Certified Hypnotherapist (CCH.t), graduating with honors from one of America's most respected hypnotherapy institutions and earning recognition for her academic achievements and clinical research work. Additionally, she pursued advanced studies in psychology, earning a degree while continuing her education in neuroscience, behavioral health, trauma, addiction recovery, autoimmune conditions, stress-related disorders, and integrative wellness.
Recognizing a gap between traditional mental health services, medical care, and holistic wellness approaches, Jessica founded The HTC Therapy Group. Her vision was to create a supportive bridge between psychology, health, wellness, and personal development. Today, HTC provides services for adults, teens, children, families, executives, professionals, entertainers, and individuals seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, chronic stress, life transitions, confidence, performance, and overall well-being.
Jessica's approach combines evidence-based psychology, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, hypnotherapy services, mindfulness, wellness education, personal accountability, and positive behavioral change. She believes many people benefit from more than just traditional talk therapy alone. By incorporating subconscious change work, lifestyle awareness, stress reduction, wellness practices, and mind-body techniques, clients often discover new pathways toward healing, growth, and resilience.
Having personally faced the challenges of chronic health conditions and life adversity, Jessica brings both professional expertise and genuine compassion to her work. Her clients appreciate her direct, honest, practical, and deeply supportive approach as they navigate their journeys.
Today, Jessica remains an active practitioner, speaker, educator, podcast guest, and developer of wellness-based programs and educational resources. Her ability to connect with people from all walks of life is one of her greatest strengths, with clients frequently describing her as approachable, insightful, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to.
Jessica's philosophy is simple: "Healing is possible. Change is real. With the right guidance, accountability, and willingness to grow, people can overcome obstacles, create healthier lives, and become the person they were meant to be."
