Hello, I am Jenny Agbortogho, a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While I have worked with a wide range of clients, my focus is with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and co-occurring substance use difficulties. With a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and training in motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based treatment, I value the interpersonal connections that are made within therapy sessions. I also have expertise in developing healthy lifestyle patterns and have seen the power of mindfulness and self-compassion in helping people improve their lives.

I have experience working with clients across the life-span on a number of issues including life transitions, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ concerns, etc. I specialize in grief/loss and suicidality as these are topics that I feel often get pushed to the side. I especially enjoy working with teens and folks in the LGBTQ+ community.

This awareness can give you the freedom to choose the direction you want instead of being driven by historical conditioning.
