About

Meet Dr. Jacqlyn Wax

Sunnier Days Psychology was founded in 2024 by Dr. Jacqlyn Wax, a California licensed clinical psychologist (PSY34539). She holds a PsyD from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and an MA in Sports Psychology from Argosy University.

Her work draws on psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral, person-centered, existential and dialectical approaches, with clients from early childhood through late adulthood.

Above all, she believes in a safe and compassionate space — one where you can explore your internal dialogue, your relationships, and what you're capable of.

Services

Care shaped around you

A range of evidence-based approaches for emotional and psychological challenges — always chosen together, never prescribed at you.

Individual Psychotherapy

Depth-oriented work drawing on Jungian, existential, positive and person-centered psychology — making sense of patterns and strengthening self-efficacy.

Behavior-Based Therapy

CBT and DBT for children, teens and adults. Practical tools to reframe self-defeating thoughts and build steadier coping skills.

Performance Psychology

For athletes, students and professionals: sharpen focus and engagement while easing the fears that hold performance back.

Health Psychology

Where mind and body meet — building habits that support both emotional and physical well-being.
