This is therapy
built for you — if you…

You're high-functioning by every external measure. But something isn't right. You're tired in a way sleep can't fix. The tools that got you here aren't working anymore.

✦

High Achiever in Burnout

You perform at an exceptional level — and you're paying for it. The drive that built your career is now running on empty, and you're not sure how to stop without falling apart.

◈

Highly Sensitive Professional

You feel everything deeply — other people's moods, your own emotions, the weight of every decision. Your sensitivity is a gift and a burden. You want to use it, not be used by it.

◇

Navigating Major Transitions

Divorce, career change, loss, a relationship ending — you're rebuilding and you don't want to do it alone or slowly. You want a therapist who moves at your pace.

○

Influencer & Content Creator

You live parts of your life publicly. The pressure, the comparison, the performance of it — there are things you can't say to your audience. This is a space where you can.

Your Therapist

Dr. Jessica
Arneson

I built Elite Living because I was tired of watching high-achieving, deeply feeling people get mediocre care from an overloaded insurance system that caps sessions, limits treatment, and treats complexity as an inconvenience.

I work exclusively with clients who are ready to go beyond symptom management — to understand their patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and build a life that doesn't require them to white-knuckle through every week.

My approach blends DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Somatic work, and Mindfulness — not as buzzwords, but as a carefully calibrated toolkit tailored to you.

What Clients Say

Real words from
real people

I had tried therapy twice before and gave up both times. The pace was too slow and I never felt like we were actually getting anywhere. Dr. Jessica moved differently — she got to the root of things in weeks that other therapists circled around for months.

S.M.Tech Executive, San Francisco

I went through a divorce, a job loss, and a cross-country move all in the same year. The intensive was the best $1,550 I've ever spent. I walked out of that 3-hour session with a completely different relationship to my own story.

R.T.Creative Director, Los Angeles

As a content creator, I couldn't use my insurance — I was too worried about records. Having a private pay therapist who understood my world specifically was a completely different experience. I actually open up here.

A.L.Content Creator, San Diego

Common Questions

What you're
probably wondering

Why don't you take insurance?

Insurance companies cap sessions, dictate diagnoses, and limit what we can actually work on. Private pay means you control your treatment — not a benefits coordinator. Many clients also qualify for out-of-network reimbursement through a Superbill, which I provide.

Can I get reimbursed by my insurance anyway?

Possibly. I provide a Superbill after sessions that you can submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. I also offer Thrizer, which handles OON reimbursement for you. Many PPO plans cover 40–80% of the session fee after your deductible.

What if I'm not sure which service is right for me?

That's exactly what the free 15-minute consultation is for. You don't have to figure it out before we talk. We'll discuss what's going on and I'll give you a clear recommendation with no obligation.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. All sessions are held on a secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual platform. Because this is private pay, there is no insurance record or diagnostic code associated with your treatment unless you specifically request a Superbill.

Do you only work with people in San Diego?

No — I work with clients throughout all of California via secure virtual sessions. Wherever you are in the state, we can work together.

How is the Therapy Intensive different from regular therapy?

Regular weekly therapy is paced by a 50-minute hour and a week between sessions. An Intensive compresses that work into focused, consecutive hours — which for many issues creates faster movement and deeper processing. Think of it as the difference between warming up slowly and diving in.
