Jody Tompkins

Are you anxious, depressed, or discouraged? Have you recently been diagnosed with cancer or another life-threatening illness? Are you struggling with a difficult relationship? With much experience navigating these issues, I am passionate about joining with clients to create a warm and safe space to move forward in healing and confidence, to identify goals and strengths, and to develop strategies to move beyond a “stuck” place. Having specialized training addressing the social and emotional effects of chronic illness, it is my honor to help patients and family members navigate an often complicated, unfamiliar, and upsetting time. In couples therapy, I help clients to communicate effectively, healing discord and detachment in the relationship, and working as a team. When needed, I also assist with co-parenting. When working with adolescent clients, I am privileged to encourage responsibility and growth, helping them to develop their identity and integrity along the way. Our lives include many transitions: school, job and career moves, shifting relationships, medical challenges, family loss and more. I can help you in developing a keen awareness of yourself, your needs, and what motivates you to action so you can work most effectively on your own behalf and create balance in doing so.
