Jennifer Kate Ferris

I have had the privilege of supporting adults, adolescents and children in a variety of settings and using multiple treatment modalities. I employ traditional psychotherapy, EMDR, as well as, behavioral techniques including CBT and DBT to support clients in meeting their desired outcome goals. I utilize individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and play therapy to alleviate symptoms of a myriad of disorders, diseases and phobias. My primary objective while working with any client is to create a safe environment to process their journey and for people to be the center of initiative in their own lives. A great deal of my experience lies in working with both adults and adolescents with mood disorders, depression, bipolar, anxiety and ADHD. I have worked with couples and clients with a range of issues to instill tools to cope with challenging situations and emotions, including how to manage emotions and behaviors in a satisfying and healthy way. I am compassionate towards the difficulties people bring into the office. Everyone has his/her own struggle and each person’s struggle has it’s merit. My approach is emphatic though I’m not afraid to pose some difficult questions to shed light on the situation and to shift thinking. In the end, people emerge more accepting of themselves and others.
