25 years as a clinical social worker has taught me that finding the right therapist is like trying on a pair of shoes. It has to be the right fit for you to start the journey of self-exploration. I believe in a strength based approach, where we not only explore the issues that brought you to therapy, but we explore how to expand the things that bring you joy and happiness. As Dr. Seuss once said, “life is a great balancing act” and he could not have been more right.
My practice focuses on individual therapy for adolescents, and adults. My areas of expertise include depression, mood disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, Trauma, and transitional issues of work, relationships, etc.
Client’s describe me as genuine and authentic, supportive, strength based, straight forward, and always keeping hope alive.

Welcome! I’m Jenni Carlsen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the Bay Area in California. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and have a passion for helping adults overcome anxiety and depression. My approach is personalized and rooted in the latest research, designed to help you gain the tools and confidence to face life’s challenges. I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about my services and how I can assist in your journey to mental health.
In addition to CBT and DBT, I integrate Gestalt and Humanistic-based approaches to foster self-awareness, self-acceptance, and authentic connections. This holistic perspective allows for deep healing and personal growth, ensuring that therapy is tailored to the unique needs of each client.
Whether working with individuals seeking personal growth or couples striving for healthier communication and stronger relationships, I believe that a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and goals is essential. Through the development of collaborative goals, I will work alongside you to develop practical strategies for change while also nurturing inner strength and resilience.

Hello! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice with more than 10 years of experience working with adult individuals and couples. My speciality is the ability to use my training and experience in ways clients need and want; in other words, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I have found that talk therapy as part of a holistic approach to well-being works best for most people.
