Jennifer Carlson

Welcome. I am an approved personal session provider for students at the Beginning Level. I seek to provide individuals and couples with an engaging and collaborative process. Aspiring to be curious and supportive as you identify & explore uncomfortable feelings, discordant self-beliefs, or painful relational dynamics that are keeping you from having more meaningful, enlivened, and loving connections to yourself and others. 

I am a trauma-informed, relational psychotherapist, who works from a foundation of relational and attachment theory, integrating mindfulness, body-based awareness and healing with adolescents, adults and couples. I am trained and certified in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Self-Hypnosis, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), and a trained couples & sex therapist.

My training in Somatic Experiencing frames my awareness and is dedicated to tracking the nervous system and enabling the safe release of both major and minor traumas stored within the body, supporting its natural healing processes. I also weave in my background in Jungian psychology, dream work & exploration of archetypes, as well as my foundation in Relational and Attachment therapy.
