Hi, I’m Jennifer Thompson, LMFT. I work with children, teens, and adults facing a range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, and life transitions. With specialized training and a compassionate approach, I help clients navigate complex family dynamics, build resilience, and develop the tools they need to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Jennifer Thompson, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (she, her)
- Appointments: Both in-person and telehealth
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
I specialize in treating sexual, emotional, physical, and psychological trauma, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, anxiety, depression, anger, and mood disorders. My training allows me to work with children as young as four, as well as adolescents and adults. I also have experience supporting individuals through grief, major life transitions, and relationship stressors.
In my work with children, I focus on concerns such as ADHD, behavioral challenges, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and difficulties related to divorce and family changes. I also address self-esteem issues and self-harm behaviors with sensitivity and care.
I am particularly passionate about helping both children and adults navigate life transitions, especially around family changes like divorce. I find deep fulfillment in supporting teenagers and individuals during these critical moments, helping them access their resilience and move forward with greater confidence and emotional strength.
