I find that addressing the whole person as a complex integrated system that may have parts of themselves that are not functioning at optimum level to be the best approach. I believe that addressing the mind and body connection and any thinking errors that are present will allow a place for us to start our work of becoming more aware of self and most importantly more loving and compassionate toward yourself.

Jennifer Moody
THERAPIST, LMSW
I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families on their journey towards healing and growth. I specialize in providing compassionate therapy services for youth and their parents, offering both individual and family therapy, as well as individual therapy for adults and mothers.
In individual therapy, my focus is on helping clients create a life worth living. I work with teenagers facing various challenges, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, low self-esteem, and school refusal behaviors. My goal is to empower clients to develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and achieve their full potential.
In family therapy, I help parents break free from unproductive patterns and enhance communication within the family system. I assist families in implementing behavior management plans and provide them with valuable skills and techniques to respond to behavior rather than react. By fostering a supportive and collaborative environment, I aim to strengthen family relationships and promote healthy dynamics.
I also have a special passion for working with mothers who struggle with managing the many moods associated with motherhood. From infancy through teenage years, I support moms in their parenting journey, helping them thrive and not just survive. If you’re a mom struggling with regulating your emotions and wanting to break the cycle of negative parenting experiences from your own childhood, learning DBT skills can be an excellent way to improve your wellbeing.
I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as a cornerstone of my approach. Through DBT, I help clients enhance their mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These skills not only contribute to achieving therapeutic goals but also serve as valuable life skills that can benefit clients in various aspects of their lives.
I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where clients can explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, and foster personal growth. My ultimate mission is to empower individuals and families to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, strength, and hope.
Contact me today to embark on your transformative journey towards a brighter future.
