Jen Leone
My name is Jen Leone, Marriage and Family Therapist in practice for 14 years. I specialize in working with motivated professional adults who need support in relationships, grief, and life transitions. Habits, regret and trauma - all can interfere with living a fuller life and realizing potential.
Patterned habits and trauma can interfere with living a full life and realizing potential.
I guide and support those who are ready to get unstuck, moving towards clear rather than fear based-choices.
First session
Our first session we will prioritize your concerns, explore past patterns and future goals. If goals are not yet clear, we can co-create a better understanding your personal values. We will then examine what might be preventing you from attaining those goals: relationally, personally or professionally.
Strengths
As a clinician, I listen critically to understand your personal style & challenges. I adjust my style according to what you let me know you need, consciously and unconsciously. * Humor is an important part of my life and I do tend to encourage whatever you find amusing. Life is challenging - laughter is vital as a coping mechanism.*
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with professional adults looking to examine their relationships, purpose in life, and then willing to do the sometimes difficult work to make changes for a healthier future. My typical clients are struggling with life changes: contemplating separation/divorce, career, child/parent shifting dynamics, and grief and loss due to death or other losses. These challenges can cause concerning mood shifts, behavior changes, and we co-create a plan to address distress.
Treatment methods
Existential
Existential psychology poses the questions "why are we here and what is our purpose?" Angst and depression can arise inter and intra personally when we feel the press of these questions.
Attachment-based
The way we attached to our original care givers influences how we attach to our partners, co-workers and friends. With greater understanding and guidance towards healthy attachment, interactive patterns can change.
Strength-Based
Everyone, everyone! has strengths and gifts. At times we forget our own resources: strengths are be amplified and additional skills developed to ensure better functioning.
