Jennifer Pinkerton, LMFT-Associate, CTP, C-PD

I have experienced my own personal work and growth in my life and can meet you in yours with vulnerability and empathy. I have a huge heart for those affected by emotional trauma. The connection between therapist and client is vital and I consider it a privilege to develop one with you. Our life experiences can manifest in many ways and those trauma responses can morph into patterns that leave us feeling powerless and lost. We can be driven by unconscious primary emotions that keep us in a triggered and reactive cycle when we are seeking secure and loving connections. You have the ability to change your “go-to” responses and build self-awareness of who you are and why you are that way. As a constant activist for feeling to heal, my message advocates for resiliency and living a full, loving life. When you are my client, I am your champion. I provide my clients an environment full of trust, commitment, and compassion. I want you to thrive in life and I will ride it out with you to get there. That pain and trauma that you experience in life may prevent you from showing up as your authentic self. In therapy, we will get to and get through those feelings to recover who you are meant to be. My love for this work has led me to focus on adults, teens, individuals, and couples who are dealing with conflict, sexual issues, trauma, emotional abuse, personality disorders, relationship concerns, shame, infidelity, anxiety, lack of self-worth, depression, sexual issues, divorce, parenting, and codependency. Having the courage to navigate through feelings is transformational. I offer a whole approach to emotional wellness. This can look like coaching to build your vision, holistic work to nurture your soul, and somatic techniques for physical healing and resiliency as an added benefit to my clients for a connected mind, body, and spirit. I have a systemic perspective and view therapy from an attachment lens. I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and incorporate each person’s own values, beliefs, and expertise in their own life. I provide a non-judgmental and safe space to share with a soulful response. I respect the great courage it takes to dig deep into feelings and I honor your experience.
