Dr. Jennifer Whaley

I view therapy as a space to build an understanding of yourself and to practice managing difficult experiences. I meet you where you are and bring intentional strategies and reflections to help disrupt unhealthy cycles and grow in the directions you want. I'm a clinical psychologist with focus areas in trauma recovery, anxiety, and eating disorders. Common concerns I treat include impact from childhood abuse and neglect, relational trauma, combat/military trauma, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, OCD, and disordered eating. I've worked over a decade with a range of concerns, including life transitions, relational distress, grief, and depression.

I’m a trauma informed therapist that brings genuineness and strategies to therapy. Our sessions will explore what a life worth living means to you and how to work through what is getting in the way. I tailor research backed approaches to your personal experiences to help learn, modify, and when appropriate, grieve what has been lost throughout life while working to change what you can. I respect how challenging it can be to come to therapy and provide support to do the heavy therapeutic work.

The goal for our first appointment is to build a foundation for our work together. I will learn about your concerns and stressors, and together we will create goals that will guide your course of therapy. I'm intentional about making the time devoted to therapy meaningful.
