Jennifer Shatzkin

Jennifer Shatzkin is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and therapist specializing in helping adults navigate the challenges of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD). She understands how anxiety can lead to distressing bodily sensations and intrusive thoughts, making it difficult for individuals to fully engage with life. Many may feel overwhelmed, grappling with perfectionism and the weight of 'what if' scenarios that cloud their minds and limit their focus. Jennifer empowers her clients to manage their anxiety rather than allowing it to dictate their lives. Through her expertise, clients learn to live in the present, embrace necessary risks for growth, and expand their tolerance for uncertainty. With a special focus on treating anxiety and OCD, Jennifer is among the few therapists in Pennsylvania trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), an innovative, evidence-based program developed at the Yale Child Study Center for children and adolescents facing these challenges. Jennifer’s philosophy for healing emphasizes the inherent strength and resilience each individual possesses to cope with more than they might imagine. Through her compassionate approach to therapy, clients discover their unique strengths and learn how to harness them to navigate life's complexities. She offers flexible scheduling, including weekend and evening sessions, providing support through in-person meetings or secure video sessions tailored for her Pennsylvania clients.
