Our lives often present unavoidable situations that trigger emotions we're not always prepared to handle. Sometimes, we may not fully understand the root of our distress, only that we’re experiencing pain. We often delay addressing this pain until it starts negatively impacting our lives. Many of us weren't taught how to process complex emotions or the accompanying psychic pain. When someone finally decides, "I've had enough," and reaches out for help, they're taking a crucial step toward moving away from pain and toward a sense of freedom. The looking for freedom from pain is who I am here to serve.

I work with people who feel stuck in patterns and cycles of avoidance, pain, distress, and conflict. My clients are often those who need to figure out a new way forward and are open to feedback in ways they can approach their problems. Perhaps you need helping deciding your next step, exploring continued unhelpful behaviors, or need help establishing new ways to communicate and connect. I focus on helping you cultivate self-compassion, assertiveness, and confidence; developing ways to reduce suffering, anxiety, social withdrawal, and self-neglect.

Hi! I’m Dr. Jasmine Jenkins, but my clients usually call me Jasmine, Doc, or Dr. J. I am a multiculturally focused licensed psychologist and the founder of Rejuvenate! I specialize in group treatment for people of color who want to heal, learn new skills, and build a life of wellness. Although I am currently focused on groups, in individual therapy, I work with people who: 1) “just need a person/professional to talk to,” 2) Desire help with mild mental health symptoms, 3) Struggle with emotion regulation and/or want to find a reason to stay alive. → these individuals usually benefit from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Struggling with your adolescent or teenager? It is vital that parents understand their teen's behavior rather than merely react to it. Working with me, your child will learn about themselves. They will discover their obstacles, and develop the inner strength and skills to make changes in themselves, It is immensely important for teens to have a neutral person to vent to, and teach them useful techniques to address their challenges. Teens experience many stressors which can lead to various issues that impact the entire family and many can be treated in therapy.

You're stressed and exhausted from all you have to face. You’ve been following the same pattern with relief and progress out of reach. Maybe you believe a fresh perspective will get you closer to the shift you're needing. If you're ready for something different, therapy can give you a place to find your way. Yes, you're allowed to take a breath and get a fresh perspective so you can move forward instead of two steps back. You don't have to keep feeling broken; humans need connection in order to heal. I'm honored to witness your story, dig alongside you for solutions, and hold space as you reconnect with your vision, and values.

Being neurodivergent, queer, and/or women+ comes with challenges of all sorts, including systemic barriers. We will prioritize your needs (yes, you do need rest!) and identify tools (structure, flexibility, and more!) that work for you. Let's take down unrealistic capitalist expectations, and create healthy boundaries and balanced relationships and start living with confidence and joy. If you’re a parent on top of that, you have even more need to reflect on your childhood and practice the care you want to teach your kids! In our work together, we will sift through old patterns and discover the free, aligned person you want to be.

You're successful in so many areas of your life, but you're struggling in one or more of your relationships. You're not sure if the problem is you or others. You feel like you're communicating effectively, but those around you don't seem to hear or fully get you. By all accounts you've mastered the good life in your career and other achievements, but sometimes your personal relationships don't reflect this as well as you want it to. How great would you feel if you could make some small, powerful shifts that would change everything?

Therapy is collaborative. As a therapist, I am a partner in my clients' self-explorations and a witness to their accomplishments. I provide a serene place where clients can rediscover or develop authentic selves, deepen emotional connections with self and others, recognize how thoughts, beliefs and values affect relationships, consider new ways of being in the world, develop healthier adaptive strategies when facing problems, and work through past and present past trauma, grief, and losses. You have the strengths you need to meet your full potential and achieve a satisfying life. I can help.

I also enjoy working with individuals who are wanting support as they explore their own neurodivergent identities. I am sex positive and welcome clients of sexual, relational, and gender diversity. I am poly/ethical non-monogamy affirming and kink aware. As a white individual, I am committed to doing my own anti-racism work to unlearn oppressive values.

You’re fucking exhausted. You're lonely and believe that you don't belong. This isn't where you thought you would be at this age. You think you should've already figured out your relationships, your career, your family, etc. Isn’t there more to life? All you want to do is crawl into bed and pull the covers over your head. The mean voice inside keeps telling you that you aren’t good enough, that you don’t deserve to rest. “Take care of everyone else before taking care of yourself." “You have to be strong…All The Damn Time.“ You can’t say no because then they won’t like you."
