Looking for help is never easy. Especially in these stressful times and if you may well be meeting a new therapist on line rather than in person. Still, life problems can reach a crisis point when one knows they need to reach out for help. Whether or not you have been in therapy before, with the right help you can make real, positive changes in your feelings, your behavior and your relationships, bringing more satisfaction and joy into your life.

www.mindymjensen.com Most People explore therapy when they are aware they want more out of life. Therapy is a process of examining wants and behaviors, and establishing a course to achieve those goals more effectively. I work with people in individual and group psychotherapy. I also work with couples with a co-therapist, allowing each client to feel like they have an advocate in the room. This helps the couple identify, negotiate and achieve their goals whether individually or collectively.

I work with adults, adolescents and children in psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis. The approach taken respects each person's individuality and the work is done in ways that are suited to each person's style and personality. The frequency and duration of treatment depends on the unique needs of each person - for example, a person may be seeking short-term therapy to deal with a school or work transition, while another person may be seeking longer term treatment to understand longstanding emotional pain or a pattern of unsuccessful relationships.

Is your toddler, preschooler or early-elementary school-age child struggling at home or in their child-care setting, preschool or school? Is their behavior disrupting the school day or home life? There are many reasons this could be occurring: medical, sensory-motor or developmental issues; a misfit between him/her and the child-care environment; emotion regulation or neurocognitive problems; or family or parenting stress. I'm here to help you uncover the mystery of your child's current challenges, reduce problematic behaviors, and implement strategies for home and school that will get your child back onto a pathway to social-emotional wellness.

The decision to begin/return to therapy can be complicated. Some believe they should be able to "fix" problems independently, and place undue blame on themselves for being stuck in cycles of depression/anxiety, disordered eating, malfunctioning relationships, self-harm, etc. Through my work as a Clinical Psychologist, I've come to believe that it takes courage to recognize that aspects of one's life aren't working, and to seek support in making positive changes. During therapy, I work with clients to identify areas of life they'd like to change, and together, we explore past experiences that may have contributed to current struggles.

Over 30 years of experience in private practice has taught me that no therapeutic intervention works unless it is built on a strong therapeutic bond - one that is based on the therapist listening, empathically, and without judgment, to each client's story: his/her woes, worries, desires and needs. Only when the client feels heard and understood can real therapeutic work begin: change-work is the result of a partnership. My ideal client could be a couple or an individual. It could be anyone, in fact, who, feels unhappy with some aspect of his or her life and/or suffers from anxiety, stress or depression. My ideal client wants to change, but doesn't know how. That's where my expertise comes in. For many, many years I have helped adults and adolescents resolve the marital, family and work problems which produce or maintain their high levels of stress and move beyond the obstacles that have stopped them from reaching their goals. Each person has a unique story and presents a challenge to me, which I still relish after all these years--to find the approach that will work best to get the person "unstuck."

Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we get "stuck" and need help navigating our way through tough obstacles. Therapy helps people identify, evaluate and solve problems effectively. We will work together to set goals, examine difficulties and find realistic solutions that provide relief and clarity. I utilize a warm interactive approach to treatment and incorporate empathy, honesty, and a sense of humor to create a comfortable environment. Because the way we think impacts the way we feel, individuals are taught skills to identify, challenge and modify negative thinking. In my work with couples, I provide strategies to improve communication, manage conflict and solidify trust.
