Jennie Hopper, MA, LCMHC, MFT

My name is Jennie and I am experienced in working with couples and individuals, specifically where there is relational distress. I work with people who are experiencing a wide range of issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, trauma and challenging situations. It is a privilege to create a safe place where your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be explored free of judgment. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Marriage and Family Therapist. Dedicated to developing and mastering my therapeutic skills, I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and am a Certified EFT Therapist. Known for my empathy, compassion, and attunement, I form strong connections with those I work with. I offer 20-minute phone consultations free of charge so that you can ask questions and we can discuss how I might be able to help. If we sense that we are not a good therapeutic fit then I will provide you with the best referrals possible.

Couples beginning therapy have often described themselves as disconnected, dissatisfied and stuck. Some have been drifting apart for years, with bitterness and resentment steadily creeping in, leaving them roommates at best. Others have experienced a sudden snap that has fractured trust and intimacy. An emotional andor sexual affair, an event, or a diagnosis can often leave at least one partner feeling betrayed and alone. Using EFT as a roadmap has meant that many couples complete therapy relieved that they feel more connected to their partner. They have been able to understand and break their typical negative cycle and are more secure, trusting, accessible, responsive and engaged with each other. When working with individuals I typically focus on the present, however, we may explore patterns that originated in the past when these 'echoes' negatively influence current situations and relationships. I understand that some patterns have helped you survive until this point but want to help you find and implement new strategies that lead to healing and wholeness.
