Jennifer O'Brien

I have been working in the helping profession for over 17 years. I attended the University of Pennsylvania's School of Social Policy and Practice, specializing in clinical social work. I have practiced in a variety of clinical settings and currently work as a mental health counselor at a local high school. I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and trauma. I have worked with clients of all ages, but currently focus on adults.

I approach clinical work from a relational perspective. I use a variety of modalities, including DBT, CBT, and MI, but the relationship with the client is always primary. The focus is on forming a trusting partnership to achieve the client's goals.

Clients can expect to leave all sessions despite any intense emotions experienced, feeling grounded, accepted, and acknowledged.
