Getting to know Jennifer Chou

I have expertise in trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems, Compassionate Inquiry, Psychodynamic theory, and Somatic Regulation.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a second-generation, Asian-American female, I am passionate about the journey of identity formation, self-empowerment, and strength-building to understand where we come from, how key individuals have shaped the narratives of our worldviews, and how to recognize which of those beliefs are no longer serving us in our adulthood. Through building self-awareness, identifying our needs, putting it into practice, we can heal those wounds trapped inside our bodies that show up as anxiety, depression, and more.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As someone who understands the importance of being heard, we will develop a trusting partnership, collaborating through interactive therapy sessions to confront the issues preventing you from living wholeheartedly. I integrate creative therapies such as music alongside approaches focusing on mindfulness, defining and reinforcing your values, acceptance, and living in the present moment.

Honestly can’t recommend Jen higher, she’s a devoted therapist who really cares about her clients. Also if you’re part of the queer community then this is a great place to do therapy. Never had to worry about the usual things IYKYK

I contacted several therapists and I really liked the process that I went through with Expansive Therapy. They explained exactly what I was going to pay and figured out how to get my insurance to cover a big part of it. Yay! Jen is terrific too :)
