Getting to know Jenna Parker

More than anything else, I'm committed to serving as a safe landing for you to bring authenticity and transparency. Offering space and time for you to articulate and explore your unsolicited feelings, thoughts, and fears is foundational in my approach to psychotherapy. I'm passionate about working with adolescents and young adults who are navigating challenging life transitions, processing relationships, and have experienced traumatic life events. During our work together, you will lead the direction of your journey as I support your healing process, achievement of your goals, and the pursuit of things that matter most to you. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, which informs my compassionate and client-centered approach.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As we address issues and make transitions you have identified as most important, you can expect my style to be strengths-based, collaborative, and reflective. And although this process may sometimes be messy, tiring, and even uncertain, I’ll be with you every step of the way. I value genuine communication and mutual respect in a therapeutic relationship and would be honored to cultivate an alliance with you that sparks growth and thriving.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I recommend seeing clients weekly for the first 8 weeks so we can build a strong foundation.

More information on payments and coverage

We are out of network with all insurances. While we understand many clients are looking to use their health insurance, we have made the very intentional decision to move away from managed care in order to protect and respect the privacy and autonomy of vulnerable populations we serve. Health insurance often creates unnecessary barriers to care for clients and perpetuates abusive and unsustainable burdens on clinicians. For people who have experienced harm from systems that were supposed to help, we believe this is the first step towards allowing you to have access to affirming and supportive care. Because we do not participate with insurance, Out of the Margins utilizes an equitable price model that is designed to make individual therapy as financially accessible as possible (please note that couples and group therapy are not part of this model). We do this for the purposes of reducing barriers to mental health care, intentionally redistributing financial wealth and privilege, and empowering our community to build and nurture healing spaces of affirmation and belonging. With this model, Out of the Margins asks you to use the chart below as a self assessment tool to help you select a payment bracket that most closely aligns with your current financial situation.This system also works best when clients share with their therapists if there are changes in their financial picture that impact the original fee they have chosen. As such, we view this tool as an ongoing conversation and part of helping historically marginalized communities to feel empowered to discuss and manage their financial goals as part of their therapeutic goals.
