Jennifer Emerson

Jennifer Emerson offers a compassionate, thoughtful space for people navigating difficult moments that can also be opportunities for growth and self-discovery. She approaches struggles as invitations to deepen understanding of oneself and one’s relationships, guiding clients to uncover strengths and build a clearer, more integrated sense of well-being.

Her clinical work began in 2003, and she brings 23 years of experience working with both adults and children across a variety of settings. She earned an MS in Counseling from California State University, East Bay and is licensed to practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist in Vermont; her license number is VT LMFT 100.0116919.

With over 15 years focused on studying and supporting early parent-child relationships, she has particular expertise working with perinatal women and families with children ages 0-5. As a full-time working parent of a neurodivergent child, she also draws on personal experience to inform a grounded, humble, and practical approach to family life and care.

Jennifer works with individual adults, couples, and teens addressing a wide range of concerns, including relationship issues, family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting concerns, stress and anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, sleeping disorders, anger management, self esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her approach integrates attachment-focused, client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused methods tailored to each person’s needs and goals.
