Jennifer (Jenny) Hays, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist
407 Sherman Ave, Ste C, Palo Alto, CA
Jennifer (Jenny) Hays believes that we already have the tools to heal ourselves inside of us; sometimes we just need help finding those tools within and support to learn how and when to use them. Jenny provides a warm, nurturing, culturally responsive, and collaborative environment where you will try things out, practice new skills, and discover what helps you feel your best day-to-day. For the last decade, Jenny has worked in a variety of community health settings with clients diverse in age, race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, and immigration status, as well as persons who are neurodivergent and differently-abled. In her work, Jenny pairs creative, embodied therapeutic techniques with evidence-based approaches, including CBT and DBT, to help you solve problems, process and express emotions, and achieve your goals. Jenny has vast experience working with school-aged children (K-8) struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and PTSD, as well as parents who are struggling in relationships with their children, struggling to support their children, and/or struggling with their own mental health, sometimes impacted by parenthood. Jenny earned her Master’s in Counseling Psychology, with a focus in Drama Therapy, from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2012. She also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre with a Minor in Psychology from the College of Santa Fe. In her free time, Jenny can be found out and about on any number of toddler-aged adventures in the Bay Area (zoo, beach, local parks, you name it!) with her daughter, family, and friends.
