I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology and have over 20 years of experience in clinical psychology. While I advertise my expertise with adolescents on my website, I LOVE working with adult Black women and women of color.
I believe your struggle is your strength! My stance with my clients is a combination of finding strengths and exploring how our past may show up in our current behavior. I like to help my clients see that things that may be viewed as faults or failures from the past can actually be untapped strengths and a source of resilience.
It’s also very important to me to talk about how societal oppression (of race, gender, sexuality, income, immigrant status, etc) impacts our ability to heal. Racial identity and the mixed race experience are specific areas of my expertise.
NEW TEEN GROUP: Navigating identity as a multiracial teen can be complicated, especially when the world doesn’t reflect your full story. The Identity Lab is an 8-week online support group for mixed race girls (ages 14–17) to explore identity, culture, and belonging with others who understand. The group offers a space to connect, feel affirmed, and find the freedom to be fully yourself. https://www.drjenntherapy.com/theidentitylab
