Getting to know Jennifer Kim-Ardakani

Before stepping into the world of therapy, I found healing and self-discovery through the arts. Whether I was welding, sculpting, or painting, creating gave me space to process, express, and discover myself and my calling. Later, my academic journey through neurobiology and pre-med deepened my awe for the human body and mind—how intricately they’re connected, and how they constantly strive to protect and guide us, even in the hardest moments. I hold a deep respect for the whole person—every part of you, including the parts that feel messy, misunderstood, or still in progress. To me, therapy is about honoring your full story: your background, culture, family, and the unique experiences that shape who you are today. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in a range of therapeutic models including attachment theory, Solution-Focused Therapy, IFS, TF-CBT, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), and Brainspotting therapy. These are just a few of the tools we can draw from as we tailor our work to fit you—your needs, your goals, your pace.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
