Jennifer Peterken

Hi, I’m Jen Peterken, MSW, LCSW and I have a passion for helping people navigate life’s messier chapters with clarity, confidence, anda bit of humor when needed.I specialize in helping people make sense of their lives—especially the parts that don’t come with a neat instruction manual. I help navigate the often-overlooked challenges of a late ADHD diagnosis, healing from narcissistic abuse, and rewriting old narratives during major life transitions. I work with teens and adults—whether it's untangling from toxic dynamics, rediscovering identity post-diagnosis, or simply figuring out what comes next.

In therapy, I blend evidence-based approaches with radical empathy and a touch of humor. My goal isn’t to “fix” you—you were never broken—but to help you untangle patterns, reconnect with your voice, and build a life that actually fits you.

Expect a mix of validation, practical tools, and the occasional nerdy metaphor (think: executive function as a glitchy browser with too many tabs open).
