Jennifer has a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Cal Poly, Humboldt. Her work as a Clinical Social Worker is influenced by a variety of theories and practices; however, she draws her primary theoretical model from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also has advanced EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training and has found the EMDR model to be extremely beneficial for her clients.
Her other areas of expertise include: trauma-informed care, attachment theory, play therapy, art therapy, and mindfulness-based and holistic approaches. Jennifer’s work supports a process of self-discovery and growth so your inner and outer life can take on more nourishing, stable, meaningful, and creative patterns.

Kaki is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with older adolescents and adults of all ages. Many of Kaki’s clients come to therapy to address feeling overwhelmed or stuck or are struggling with self-esteem or life transitions. Kaki is particularly passionate about serving high achieving young professionals and college and graduate school-aged individuals, as she has worked in university counseling for 9 years. She also has advanced training in anxiety, body image issues, and eating disorders.
Kaki uses a variety of techniques and tools in therapy to provide personalized and effective care. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), clients will learn to identify how their thoughts and behaviors may be negatively impacting them and work to change how they approach situations in their lives. By using psychodynamic psychotherapy, Kaki and her clients examine their past experiences to illuminate patterns in their relationship with themselves and others that they hope to change. Kaki also enjoys using relational psychotherapy in order for clients to practice new ways of relating to others. In session, Kaki focuses on helping her clients generate new insights, implement skills, and get to know themselves better. Her approach helps clients feel more satisfied and fulfilled in their relationships, experience more joy, create a more balanced life, and make decisions that are more aligned with their values.
Kaki's style is active, engaging, and warm. Kaki welcomes individuals of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Outside of private practice, she loves hiking in the Tetons, cooking new recipes, skiing, and riding horses.Primary Modalities:

Bio:
My goal as a clinician is to offer a comfortable space for people to explore themselves without shame or judgement. By examining our patterns, strengths, limitations, and our history, we can learn to experience a felt sense of self-compassion. Through this process, many people get to the root of anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and self destructive behaviors.
I utilize evidence based modalities, and draw on the therapeutic relationship to assist others in their internal work. I work with men and women ranging from early adolescence to end of life. I work with individuals, couples, and families.
Primary Modalities:
Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassionate Inquiry, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

All counselors who participate in our Community Counseling Program are vetted and must maintain certain standards. We cannot speak for the work of counselors who do not contract with us. We provide their information so you have knowledge of all local options. We trust you to make the best decision for you and your loved ones.
We recommend everyone interview potential matches, know their rights, and advocate for themselves. You may discontinue care for any reason at any time. Life is too short for bad counseling!
If you believe one of our contracted providers has violated our standards, please let us know. You may report any counselor who acts unethically to their supervisor and/or licensing board.
