Getting to know Jennifer Schmitt

Hi there, I'm Jennifer! Therapy is a deeply personal process that can be difficult and profound. I look forward to helping you begin the process of healing, change, recovery, or self-exploration. I currently work from a psycho-dynamic approach that utilizes traditional psychotherapy as well as EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, family systems, and relapse prevention. My approach Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or more, I welcome the opportunity to help you achieve your goals. I am trained in the seeking EMDR, safety trauma model, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I truly believe in the "right fit" in finding a therapist. This is as important as the treatment itself, sometimes more so. To have the best therapeutic relationship, there needs to be trust, openness, non-judgment, and the ability to be vulnerable. Starting therapy is like opening a can of worms; it can sometimes get worse before it gets better, but I will be there every step of the way. Let's reshape those difficult thoughts, together. My focus Have you felt overwhelmed and not sure where to start? I have over 15 years of experience working in outpatient and inpatient settings, with a broad range of people. I look forward to discussing a plan specific to each person. My communication style I encourage clear, open, honest communication. You are in charge of your care, and I aim to provide a warm, supportive setting for you to be yourself. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into the world of therapy began as many other therapists do, a deep personal connection to the pain of the world and how it shapes lives. I believe wholeheartedly in therapy, betting on yourself, and absolutely love seeing my clients succeed- whatever that means to them. My goals for you Therapy is a partnership. We will work together to identify a treatment plan, how long you want to be in therapy, and what is important to you.
