In addition to the individuals, couples and families I see in my private practice, I also specialize in counseling and coaching for therapists and other healers. Clients who are also clinicians say they enjoy my warm, non-judgmental style, joyful sense of humor and the wisdom acquired during my twenty years of clinical experience. My unique position as an established therapist in the DC area and the founder of DCTherapistConnect allows me to meet you wherever you are on your path as a clinician. Therapists contact me for support, psychotherapy/counseling and professional guidance.*
Therapists turn to me to work on a wide variety of issues. Some of those include:
Counseling
- being with and managing our own anxiety, depression and intense feelings as we help others
- processing and working through life events while working or beginning to work as a therapist
- assessing where to put energy and interest when starting out as a new therapist
- balancing work and family at all stages of career
- self-care and self-compassion throughout the life and work cycle
- new mom/dad and parenting support and counseling
- couple counseling
Coaching
- client growth strategies
- social media savvy
- practice management skills
- editing and writing expertise
- launching or re-launching a practice in the DC area
- building a collaborative practice
- transitioning practice focus to a new area of expertise
- returning from maternity leave or sabbatical, retirement and succession planning
Typical coaching engagements take place over the span of several months and are customized based on the unique needs of each client. Support is provided in a variety of ways such as in-person and video conference meetings, phone consultations and email or text check-ins.
Coaching Testimonials
“Jen has been such a valuable resource and mentor for me as I have developed my practice. She has a keen talent for asking the right questions to prompt forward progress at a comfortable, yet motivating pace. Jen knows how to tune in and nurture that inner strength, empowering professionals to challenge themselves and step into the next chapter of developing their practice with targeted positive energy. Jen is warm, down-to-earth, and you will feel her in your corner.”
~ Emily Griffin, LICSW
“Meeting Jen was just wanted I needed to figure out how to re-enter the working world, after taking several years off to be home full-time with my children. She is warm, kind and practical- and I definitely left our meetings with knowledge and confidence that I hadn’t walked in with. Jen also helped me network with colleagues in the field- and I am happy to say that I am in my third year of work with an employer with whom she connected me.” Kathy Voglmayr, LCSW-C

I value gender, sexual, racial, class, disability and religious/spiritual identity. We are all doing the best we can and that sometimes we just need a little help.
