Therapist Profile:
Jennie Kleinman, MHC-LP
SHE/HER
Associate Psychotherapist
Therapy is one of the most personal experiences and therefore, I believe in a very individualized approach. My approach is eclectic, but draws heavily from a psychodynamic framework. I am passionate about therapy being a partnership so I develop a strong therapeutic alliance with each and every client. In pursuit of this, I make it a mission to foster a warm and safe therapeutic environment, wherein clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences. As a therapist, I am motivational, open and attentive and I will hold space for you through it all. I will make room for conflict and unhappiness and welcome adversity. Together we will create a space for growth and change.

What is your favorite self-care tip/way to wrap up the end of a long day:
One of my favorite ways to unwind after a long day is to light a yummy smelling candle and snuggle up with my kindle (bonus points if the book is a fun mystery/thriller!)
A quote that has really stuck with you:
“It is hard to be so honest, so vulnerable, so exposed. But I find that it always leads you someplace freer.” - Taylor Jenkins Reid
