About Ember & Bloom Psychotherapy

In every ember of pain lies the seed of wisdom. Together, we’ll tend to both — transforming struggle into strength and reflection into radiant growth.

Founded by Jason Churchill, LMFT (#147982), Ember & Bloom Therapy is a boutique mental health practice based in Palm Desert, California, offering virtual therapy services across the state. The practice was created with the belief that healing and personal growth emerge through warmth, insight, and intentional care—like an ember sparking new life into full bloom. Jason provides a compassionate, evidence-based approach tailored to each client’s unique journey, supporting individuals in cultivating resilience, balance, and emotional clarity. Whether through the quiet reflection of the desert or the convenience of telehealth, Ember & Bloom Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to nurture lasting change.

You’ve worked hard to build a life that appears successful on the outside—yet something inside feels unsettled. Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition: an empty nest, a relationship that has lost its spark, a demanding career that leaves little time for yourself, or the quiet realization that you’ve spent years caring for others at the expense of your own needs. And for those who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community, there may be added layers—navigating identity in spaces that don’t always understand you, balancing authenticity with safety, or carrying the emotional weight of being “strong” for everyone else. You may find yourself asking, “Is this it?” or wondering what it might feel like to be truly seen, understood, and fulfilled again.

Jason's niche is working with women who appear to “have it all” yet quietly struggle with anxiety, loneliness, perfectionism, or unspoken dissatisfaction. His approach integrates psychodynamic therapy with insight-oriented work—helping you uncover the patterns that keep you stuck and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been neglected or silenced. 

He also works with the LGBTQIA+ community recognizing the unique experiences tied to identity, belonging, and self-expression. Whether you're navigating coming out later in life, managing the emotional labor of being “the strong one,” or seeking a space where your full self can be honored without explanation, Jason offers a supportive environment grounded in affirmation, compassion, and authenticity.

Together, you'll explore how your past experiences shape your present life and build a more balanced, empowered way forward.

Sessions with him are calm, reflective, and tailored to your emotional depth. Clients often describe therapy as a space where they can finally exhale—a place to slow down, be fully seen, and make sense of what they truly need.

If you’re ready to invest in yourself—to create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside—we invite you to reach out. Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken; it’s about remembering who you are and learning to live from that truth.
