About Jennifer Hayden

Jennifer Hayden brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her therapeutic work, integrating multiple treatment approaches to meet each person's needs. She holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and has licensure in both mental health and substance use fields, along with specialized training in treating gambling disorders. Her practice reflects a belief in the medical model of disease as one framework for understanding conditions like addiction, and she works with clients to reduce the stigma that can accompany those diagnoses.

At the same time, Jennifer emphasizes a holistic view of healing that attends to the many parts of a person's life. She is a trained EMDR therapist - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - and applies EMDR alongside other modalities when appropriate; she has been trained in several EMDR protocols, including those tailored for trauma and for addiction. Her approach blends client-centered work with evidence-informed techniques to help people move toward greater stability and well-being.

Jennifer values practical, collaborative care and aims to support clients through life transitions, recovery, and the processing of difficult experiences. She wants to reduce suffering and considers it an honor to accompany people on their healing journeys.

One major benefit is flexibility - individuals may choose the communication method that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging.
