Jennifer Amano
Hi there, I'm Jenn! I am a marriage and family therapist with specialities in trauma focused care, high stress work environments that have led and are leading to burn out, personality disorders and being family members and friends of this disease, and veteran care.
I find getting to know the big picture of what brings a person to treatment and meeting them where they are is the biggest part of the treatment.
I know that your journey to find support and care that fits your needs has been so hard and I am hoping this is the final stop on this journey. I can imagine that stress is high, relationships are not their greatest and you are looking for support, tools and healing to get your life back on track. Together we can work on that. I help all types of people with through ranges of emotions from typical stress and burn out to trauma. Together we will identify what has been causing you distress and create a plan that can utilize a variety of differently modalities from conversational talk therapy, Acceptance and commitment therapy to EMDR. I try to use a whole self approach and a really a wide view of all the aspects of your life to help create a plan that will help you in the direction of your ideal self. No matter what is bringing you to this site, together we can help you feel just a little better though our time together. I know that this step coming here was a big one and I believe it will be worth it. You deserve all the care. I will meet you where you are at with compassion and evidence based practices so can overcome the struggles and habits that have been getting in your way. I hope that we can work together.
First session
In out first session together I like to do a typical intake where I can get to know what you are going through, what you have tried and create a plan that can tackle these things. I find that it's important to hear all that brings you to treatment before any type of work can be done.
Strengths
My biggest strength is genuine curiosity in all aspects of you and what brings you to treatment at this time. I find getting to know the big picture of what brings a person to treatment and meeting them where they are is the biggest part of the treatment. Our relationship truly guides the treatment.
Ideal clients
I work best with clients who are ready to create meaningful change in their lives, even when that process feels challenging or uncomfortable. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy, but a willingness to be curious, open, and engaged in the work can make a significant difference. My approach is goal-oriented while also honoring that healing and growth take time. Lasting change rarely happens overnight. Together, we'll identify what matters most to you, build practical skills, and work through the obstacles that may be keeping you stuck. Therapy is a collaborative process, and meaningful progress often comes from consistent effort, self-reflection, and compassion for yourself along the way. If you're looking for a quick fix, my approach may not be the best fit. If you're ready to invest in a process that fosters lasting growth, resilience, and a more fulfilling life, I would be honored to support you on that journey.
