Jennifer Murphy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting children, teens, and families through a variety of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. I currently work as a school social worker providing individual and group counseling, crisis support, behavioral interventions, and collaboration with families and other providers. I also have experience in inpatient behavioral health, supporting individuals across different stages of life.

My clinical experience includes helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, social challenges, family stress, life transitions, and difficult moments. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward meaningful change.

I believe every client has unique strengths and experiences that shape who they are. My goal is to meet clients where they are, provide compassionate support, and work collaboratively toward their personal goals.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, strengths-based, and collaborative. I believe therapy should be a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported while working toward positive change.

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT-informed strategies, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care. I tailor my approach based on each client’s individual needs, goals, and experiences.

Together, we will work on building insight, strengthening coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and developing healthier ways to navigate challenges. My goal is to help clients recognize their strengths, build confidence, and create meaningful changes that support their overall well-being.

Clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment during our first session. Our first meeting is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, talk about what brings you to therapy, and begin identifying your goals and areas where you would like support.

We will discuss your current concerns, personal experiences, strengths, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I also welcome questions about my approach and the therapy process so you can feel comfortable moving forward.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make the process feel safe, collaborative, and individualized. Together, we will begin creating a plan that supports your needs and helps you move toward meaningful change.
