Getting to know Jennifer McKenzie

With 25 years in practice, she is a seasoned psychotherapist who specializes in working with adults and couples. She is direct and compassionate, always aiming to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for her clients. Jennifer is certified in Attachment-Focused EMDR, which she utilizes to inform her work. My approach Most importantly, she will invite you to share what is bringing you to seek support. She will explain her approach to working with anxiety, trauma, and addiction, how these issues intersect and impact our relationships. My focus Because she has been practicing extensively for a long time, she is adept at identifying key issues and developing a plan of care that will meet your needs. This positions her to respond to a diverse clientele who are struggling with emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual issues. My communication style Her clinical approach is both direct and compassionate. She models a genuine love for the human journey and a sense of companionship with you as you actively engage in meaningful treatment. My journey to mental healthcare It is such a privilege to be a mental health provider! Being born in California during the 1970s to academic parents paved the way for privilege, and on the other hand, needs were met with chaos and unpredictability. Jennifer's own development meant that she turned to therapy starting young and has always been naturally drawn to be of service. My goals for you Jennifer utilizes a strategy for identifying your needs and establishing a treatment plan. She invites her clients to actively engage in treatment and will work with their motivation to map out their goals. My first session with you Jennifer will start out wanting to learn about "why now?"What is bringing you to seek treatment, and she will want to know a little about your background so she can assess the best course of care.
