Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello I am Jenn, I have a graduate degree from The College of St Rose in Albany, and NYS licensed Master CASAC. I am most proud of the well seasoned life experience that comes with being a Gen X.

Clients can expect authenticity, an open mind, and an understanding space to explore traumatic and challenging belief systems (that no longer work), emotional dysregulation, coping skills, communication skills (boundary setting, healthy communication, self care), and future focused guidance and support.

Clients will improve social, relational and professional interactions. Clients are free to express themselves mindfully and reflect intentionally about challenging behavior and racing thoughts. I will always provide compassionate non-judgmental, and ethical care.

I’ve always been drawn to helping others and knew early on that I wanted to become a therapist. I enjoy listening and feel inspired by people who are motivated to grow and improve their lives. My experience includes case management, leading groups in an inpatient mental health setting, and several years providing one-on-one therapy in both school and clinical settings. These roles have given me a broad perspective on the challenges people face. My true passion is working one-on-one with individuals, supporting their growth and helping them create meaningful and lasting change. I’ve trained in CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic approaches, and work related to relationships and parenting.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Rensselaer

Finding a therapist in Rensselaer, NY starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else — and look for a licensed provider with experience in that area. Reviewing a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.

Rensselaer is a smaller city, so your options for in-person care may be more limited than in nearby Albany or Troy. Virtual sessions can expand your choices significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across New York State who accept your insurance. On Headway, you can browse providers offering both in-person and virtual appointments across the Capital Region.

Therapy in New York can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. You can confirm your specific coverage on Headway to see what's available in your area.
