Jennifer Reaves (she/her)

I have completed a psychodynamic program at Northwestern University, which means I take particular care to help you to understand where your thoughts and beliefs come from and how they interact to change your perceptions in the present. I want to help you to understand yourself and how your unconscious processes may be affecting you in positive or less than positive ways.

I have undergone additional training and have done extensive research in attachment theory. I believe that from the second we are born, we develop our biology, identity and sense of safety in relationship with others, therefore it's impossible to understand all of ourselves without bringing our experiences with significant others into the forefront. We can use these same mechanisms to improve our health and wellbeing in our body, our self-esteem, and emotional health.

I have undergone additional training to be certified as a trauma-treatment professional. This requires an intimate knowledge of how trauma affects the body, neurology, relationships, and particular care in how to work with clients. I am honored to hear your story and to create a place of safety, whether you are interested in working though your trauma, or simply want someone to understand your particular treatment needs.

I have additional experience working with victims of domestic violence and childhood trauma, and can provide understanding and a stigma-free environment to process these issues and experiences.

I have additional experience working with victims of domestic violence, adult and childhood sexual abuse, and can provide understanding and a stigma-free environment to process these issues and experiences.

I have additional training in helping those who struggle with PTSD, and can provide Cognitive Processing Therapy to address these issues, as well as to increase overall functioning, coping ability, and to provide the safety to address and process.

We can explore issues of self-esteem that hold you back from what you know you really want. The issues around this can come from many different sources, and I use a holistic, integrative method of care that can help us to address childhood issues, relationship issues, behavioral concerns, cognitive, or belief systems that are standing in your way.
