Getting to know Jennifer Hardy

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years' experience working with individuals, families, and couples. I have had the privilege of supporting a diverse population, including foster youth, sex workers, transgender youth and adults, and individuals involved in the criminal justice system. I focus on encouraging people to build upon their strengths to help them face and move through challenges. My approach I use a client-centered, strength-based approach. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy techniques. In general, my approach is holistic, humanistic, and heart-centered. My focus I have typically worked with clients who are in a more marginalized demographic, including sex offenders, sex workers, severely mentally ill people who are involved in the criminal justice system, juveniles who are gang-affiliated, and individuals who have been sexually abused. Given that most of my clients have experienced varying degrees of trauma throughout their lives, I am comfortable discussing and treating deep and complex trauma. I am comfortable exploring sexual identity and transgender issues. Most of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and family dynamics. My communication style I am calm, down-to-earth, and have been told I have a very "soothing" voice. I "operate from the heart" and am therefore nurturing and supportive in my approach. However, once I have established trust with a client, I am not afraid to ask difficult and pointed questions that create an opportunity for an individual to "crack open." I also have a sense of humor! My journey to mental healthcare I raised five children, and during that experience, several of my children's friends reached out to me for support when they were going through difficult times. They told me I was "a good listener and easy to talk to." That led to my interest in working with teens, which I did for many years.
