Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi there! My name is Jen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the beautiful state of Oregon with over 11 years of experience in working with adults and couples.
I believe that we all have the ability to create wholeheartedness within ourselves, but sometimes we just get stuck in old patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are no longer serving us. It can be difficult to get out of the habit of these patterns, which can leave us feeling frustrated, ashamed, hopeless, and so many of the other not-so-fun feels!
Therapy can be a helpful tool in dealing with, and eventually changing, these unwanted patterns. My theory of change is that it first begins with awareness. This awareness then leads to subtle shifts in our reactions, which help to form new patterns of thoughts and behaviors. I help clients create this lasting change in their lives by using an eclectic approach based on Mindfulness, The Daring Way™ (the work of Brene’ Brown), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Neurobiology, Relational Therapy, Attachment Theory, Nonviolent Communication, Hakomi, etc. My counseling style is relaxed and collaborative, and chock-full of empathy, curiosity, and humor!
I hold a Master of Arts Degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. The focus of my program was a blend of East and West theories of psychology, as well as an integrated approach to the four waves of psychology: Psychoanalytic, Behavioral, Humanistic, and Transpersonal. I’m also a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator and it is the foundation of my work as a whole. #BreneBrownFTW
So, if you’re wanting to cultivate more self-compassion, build more shame resilience, change your ways of thinking, and finally have true agency over your life, I can help you with that!
BONUS: if you also want to nerd out on psychology and laugh a lot, I’m definitely your girl!

Jennifer Kind is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon with over 11 years of experience supporting adults and couples.
She believes people have the capacity to create wholeheartedness, yet old patterns of thought and behavior can become stuck and leave clients feeling frustrated, ashamed, hopeless, and overwhelmed by difficult emotions. Therapy can be a useful tool for identifying and gradually shifting those patterns.
Her approach to change begins with awareness, which can lead to subtle shifts in reactions and the formation of new habits of thinking and behavior. To support that process she draws on an eclectic mix of methods including mindfulness, The Daring WayTM (the work of Brené Brown), cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, relational therapy, attachment theory, nonviolent communication, and Hakomi.
Her counseling style is relaxed and collaborative, grounded in empathy, curiosity, and a sense of humor. She holds a Master of Arts degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, where her training emphasized a blend of Eastern and Western psychological perspectives and an integrated view of the four waves of psychology: psychoanalytic, behavioral, humanistic, and transpersonal. She is also a Certified Daring WayTM Facilitator and uses that framework as a foundation for her work.
Jennifer helps clients cultivate greater self-compassion, build resilience to shame, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and increase their sense of agency. She also enjoys digging into psychology topics and sharing a few laughs with clients who appreciate a curious, down-to-earth style.
