Dr. Jennifer Gildner

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi there! Thanks for taking a look at my services. Please note before choosing to work with me that I use only asynchronous messaging for services and DO NOT MEET VIA VIDEO OR VOICE chat at this time. I am scheduled to check messages weekday evenings and I am not scheduled to check messages at weekends. I am also not able to complete forms or letters based on mental health therapy (i.e. ESA requests, Workman’s Comp, confirmation of services). If this schedule, using messaging only, and no need for forms or letters to be completed works for you, I hope you’ll continue reading to get an idea about how I work with clients.

Empowerment occurs when we transform intention to action. I have a collaborative yet challenging approach in my work with individual clients. Your mind is where intention moves toward action. I see it as my job to help you find answers that are already within you from a strengths-based approach. Because we are working together collaboratively, you have the freedom to express what you need from psychotherapy and I will want to spend time exploring how your cultural background impacts your presenting concerns. You’re also in therapy for change and that’s where my ability to challenge you comes in. I can provide a positive relationship in which you can learn about yourself and grow. Further, mindfulness is a large part of how I approach our work together, particularly as you are working toward new thoughts and behaviors with the goal of improving your life in general. If all this sounds like what you’re looking for, I look forward to hearing from you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people. A major benefit is flexibility – you can connect in the way that suits you best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations. Each therapist you work with is a licensed professional, and you always have the option to change therapists if you are looking for a different fit. Online therapy can offer practical access and comparable outcomes for many common mental health needs.
