Jennifer Schmidt

With over 20 years of experience, Jennifer Schmidt specializes in supporting adult clients facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Her niche focus includes high-ability individuals, often identified as gifted, who navigate intense emotional experiences, perfectionism, feelings of isolation, and existential concerns. Jennifer also offers valuable support for those dealing with life-threatening food allergies, chronic illness, and perinatal mental health issues. As an EMDR-certified trauma therapist with an advanced certificate in Logotherapy (Meaning-Centered psychotherapy), she creates a therapeutic space that serves as a sanctuary for clarity and strategic growth. In her sessions, clients engage in processing their worries, sorrows, joys, and aspirations while tackling complex challenges. Jennifer is committed to ensuring that every individual feels truly seen, heard, and understood. Utilizing an eclectic approach, her interventions are grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Logotherapy/Existential Analysis. She views the journey with her clients as a profound privilege, empowering them to transcend their suffering and honor their innate capacity for growth, fortitude, and resilience. Her ultimate goal is to foster a sense of hope, equip clients with skills to alleviate their symptoms, help them recognize the power of the present moment, and guide them toward contentment and peace.
