Jennifer McFarlin

Jennifer McFarlin is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people heal fractured relationships with themselves and others. She brings a compassionate, team-oriented approach as a confidant, sounding board, mediator, and encourager for those navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, eating disorders, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, depression, and life transitions.

She earned a Master’s degree in Counselor Education and Specialist in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Florida in 2012 and has accumulated 12 years of clinical experience. Early in her training she completed registered intern hours at a mental health hospital working with people experiencing severe mental illness. After licensure she served as a Primary Therapist at an eating disorder treatment center for three years, counseling clients with disordered eating and co-occurring depression, anxiety, and OCD while providing extensive group and family therapy alongside individual sessions.

Since 2020 she has operated a private practice with an emphasis on relationship issues and attachment styles, and she became certified in Integrated Attachment Theory in 2024. In work with individuals, couples, and families she explores the core wounds underlying attachment patterns and supports clients in healing those wounds to move toward more secure attachment, which can lead to improved mental health and healthier relationships.

Jennifer consistently assesses how ingrained beliefs formed in each person’s family of origin influence current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. While she teaches practical coping skills, she also helps clients address the underlying belief systems that drive symptoms, applying a systemic perspective that considers all significant relationships and the beliefs that arose from them. Her mission is to leave people better than she found them, and she invites clients to work together to improve their lives.
