Jennifer Thompson, LMFT

I approach therapy where the patient is the expert in their life and I join in their process to better understand themselves. I like to explore the past and how this is affecting them currently and identify negative thoughts/behaviors to focus on and reduce/learn different ways to live. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for patient’s to explore and heal. I do use humor, and sometimes sarcasm, and have been told that therapy felt easier because of this. I’ve also been told I am easy to relate to and provide comfort/safety.

Patients have said they have a positive experience and have become more empowered and better able to recognize their own needs and sense of self. Many patients go through the process of 'hearing you (therapist) in my head to help me make the right choices' but transition to hearing their own voice/self to guide them.

I am particularly passionate about helping both children and adults navigate life transitions, especially around family changes like divorce. I find deep fulfillment in supporting teenagers and individuals during these critical moments, helping them access their resilience and move forward with greater confidence and emotional strength.
