“I’m usually satisfied with my appointments and the communication leading up to but today was different. I don’t know if I got charged for it. I hope I didn’t though. But the doctor did not show up for the appointment nor did I get the link to join. I texted her twice into which I got no response. I hope she’s OK though because 98% of the time she is on top of it. ”

Getting to know Dr. Jennifer Sumerlin
I'm Dr. Jennifer Sumerlin, owner and operator of Tabula Rasa Psychotherapy, LLC. I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in both New Jersey and Florida. I completed my post-secondary education in NJ which included diverse clinical trainings in mental health practices, agencies, and hospitals. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology, as well as my doctorate in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Social Justice from St. Elizabeth University (formerly The College of St. Elizabeth). I also hold a Master of Science from Seton Hall University in Marriage and Family Therapy.
With almost 10 years of post-graduate experience, my practice focuses on children (ages 6-11), adolescents (ages 12-17), and adults (ages 18+) who are struggling with feelings of depression and anxiety, as well as LGBTQIA+ issues, multicultural issues, grief, ADHD, college mental health, trauma, family conflict, relationship issues, marital and premarital issues, separation, divorce, attachment, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, anger management.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a client-centered Therapist, with an emphasis on multigenerational, structural, and strategic theoretical orientations, I will help you explore your childhood for an understanding of how your past experiences and generational lessons may have impacted life choices and behaviors in the here and now. Since no one person is alike, I implore a myriad of therapeutic techniques as a way of tailoring my therapeutic approach to the individual client.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I thoroughly enjoy working with a diverse population, including, but not limited to: high-achieving professionals, Women of Color, older clients (ages 65+) facing change of life transitions, & transgender clients in all phases of transition. For the helping professions, including, but not limited to, other therapists, nurses, and physicians, I provide support in achieving a work-life balance to help reduce burn-out. I aim to provide a genuine, warm, and non-judgmental approach.

When I had my zoom meeting I was leaving dental office. Jennifer waited until I got home.
She was a great listener. She asked great questions. She got me to think about why I was doing the things I was doing. She was parent and kind. We went a little over time. I did not feel rushed. She’s great!!!!

Dr. Sumerlin was so down-to-earth and helped give me a little perspective. She also recommended some mental exercises/best practices to try and help with some of the problems I have been having. This was my first experience with a therapist and I found it very helpful. I will absolutely be booking a follow up session.
