Firstly, I am proud of you and am honored to be considered as a person of support in your sacred journey. As a byproduct of your upbringing and community, some of your toughest battles have probably felt the most familiar. You've mastered the role as the "go-to" for everyone around you and pride yourself on this. You're fighting so many silent battles & survival mode has been a life long approach. Now you're tired and want to access peace and new ways of existing. You deserve the breath of fresh air and I am here to support as we explore ways of growth through boundary setting, healing inner child wounds & putting yourself first.

Starting therapy and picking a therapist can be stressful. Think about our first meeting simply as a conversation. Whether you're choosing a new career, getting in/out of a relationship, or mourning the loss of a loved one, it's often helpful to talk to an objective person outside of your family or friend group to understand what is going on and to create new, positive coping skills. In my practice, I see adults and couples. I bring my extensive education, training and experience as a social worker and contemporary psychoanalyst to our work.

Therapy can provide a safe space for individuals to explore vulnerable dimensions of oneself and explore meaning in life’s experiences. Therapy with me is rooted in relationship. I understand that value of a trusting, authentic relationship between therapist and client, and I offer insight, support, compassion, and curiosity in a nurturing way that allows clients to examine patterns that both aid or hinder individuals’ potential for wholeness. I work from a depth-oriented, psychodynamic framework, understanding that one’s self is a manifestation of one’s whole life experiences. I provide both short and long term therapy.

I call my philosophy of therapy psy-chi. When the flow of energy, or chi, which is the life force of all living things, becomes constricted by fear and doubt, we lose our creativity and faith in ourselves. We become depressed or bored and feel disconnected from family, friends, and co-workers, or we become anxious and agitated and start to experience paranoia, or feel that we are not good enough. We lose our confidence; we lose the best part of ourselves. When this negative energy manifests itself the mind and body need to be realigned.

We only know what we know, no shame in not knowing what we don’t. Consider it a privilege to accompany you on your journey to a more fulfilling life. Therapy shouldn't have to be complicated or intimidating. I work with a compassionate, supportive, and individualized approach reducing your distress and symptoms and build your strength and resilience. I'm a lmft with over 35 years experience. My style is interactive, direct, and supportive. I focus on the here-and-now but recognize that one's past impacts choices, feelings, and behaviors in the present. I hope you find therapy with me to be a safe, nurturing, productive experience.

I specialize in Adult Counseling, Couples Counseling, Teen Counseling and Men's Issues. I offer my life experience as a former executive, coach, husband, and father along with my passion for helping people live meaningful lives. I left a successful career as a business executive in order to become a therapist. I chose this because I experienced first-hand how the pressures of life can take a severe toll on emotional wellbeing. I saw many others struggling with life challenges too, and my own growth through therapy has instilled within me a desire to help.

My name is Jennifer Kemp. I am an LMFT 112316. I believe there is hope for all people. My approach to therapy stems from this belief. There are always different ways to perceive ourselves. I like to focus on strengths. I am a fan of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. They are different approaches, but they help clients understand and see themselves by using new strategies.

My connection to the mental health field comes from a deeply personal place — as a first generation female-Latinx born in the USA to Ecuadorian parents and the first person in my family to attend college, I grew up with many of the common challenges that female-Latinx folks face, especially regarding the taboo around mental health.

The majority of my clientele are insightful, high-achieving professionals who have excelled in their careers but have come to a place in their lives where they now feel stuck. They know that the skills they have used to get them where they are in life, are not enough to get them to where they want to be. Maybe they are excellent in their professional lives but want to improve their relationships with their loved ones. Perhaps they work great alone but have difficulty sharing the load with others.
