Getting to know Jennifer Shotlander

I have 20 years of experience providing counseling to a diverse array of adult clients. I treat each person as the unique individual they are, without judgment or comparison. My goal is to start by listening to understand your story, your strengths, your needs, and your goals. I will work with you to identify techniques and strategies to cope with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, substance abuse recovery, difficulty setting boundaries, low self-esteem, caregiving stress, grief, work-life balance stress, and other life challenges. Together, we will build up your healthy coping toolbox to help you reach your goals. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My clients share that they walk away from sessions feeling connected, heard, and validated. Many clients leave with a new tool or strategy to try before the next session. After our work together, clients say they feel empowered to continue our work on their own with a clearer mindset, healthier thinking patterns, calmer reactions, hopeful outlooks, and a toolbox full of resources to support them.

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.
