Getting to know Jennifer Adams
Hi, I'm Jen, a Licensed Independent Social Worker and much of my career has been spent supporting individuals and families through some of life's most difficult moments. My professional experience spans outpatient and inpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, emergency medicine, and child welfare. These experiences have shaped the clinician I am today. They have taught me that people are far more than the hardest thing that has ever happened to them; and that healing rarely follows a straight line.
The Person Behind the Therapist: I am LatinX and the daughter of a first-generation immigrant. My culture, family, and experiences have shaped how I see the world and understand the importance of connection, community, and belonging. As a social worker, I also believe that mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. Our relationships, culture, identity, communities, access to resources, and experiences with larger systems can all affect our well-being. I am passionate about racial, social, and economic justice, and I bring that social-work lens into my practice. I am also proud to be an LGBTQIA+ ally and am committed to creating an affirming environment where people can feel respected and safe being themselves. You don't have to leave parts of yourself at the door when you come to therapy.
What I Want You to Know: You don't need the right words. You don't have to know exactly where to begin. My role isn't to tell you who you should be or what your life should look like. My role is to listen, help you make sense of what you're experiencing, and walk alongside you as you work toward where you want to go. You simply have to take the first step. From there, we can begin together.

Hi! I am Jen Adams, a Licensed Independent Social Worker. Much of my career has focused on supporting individuals and families through some of life's most difficult and uncertain moments.
My professional experience spans outpatient therapy, pediatric oncology, inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, emergency medicine, and child welfare. I have supported people navigating trauma, mental health crises, grief, serious illness, loss, abuse, and significant life transitions. These experiences have shaped the clinician I am today and taught me that people are far more than the hardest thing that has ever happened to them—and that healing rarely follows a straight line.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable sharing at your own pace.
During our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your current concerns, and review relevant aspects of your personal history. We'll also talk about your goals for therapy and what you hope to achieve. This initial conversation helps me better understand your unique experiences and allows us to develop a plan that aligns with your needs and priorities.
I understand that starting therapy can feel both exciting and overwhelming. There is no pressure to share everything at once. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and you are always encouraged to ask questions throughout the process.
By the end of our first session, you can expect to have a clearer understanding of how we can work together and what the next steps in your therapeutic journey may look like.
