Description
The aim of this group is to maximize human potential for a rich, full, and meaningful life.
We do this by:
- Teaching you psychological skills to deal with difficult thoughts and feelings– in such a way that they have much less impact and influence over you.
- Helping you to clarify what is important and meaningful to you – i.e. your values – then use that knowledge to guide, inspire, and motivate you to change your life for the better.
The group will cover:
- The art of mindfulness and being present in this moment
- Observing yourself in a truly kind and compassionate way
- Working out what is truly important to you, and what you most value
- Taking action toward your most important goals
- Skills to enable you to hold stress and other problems more lightly

She works with a variety of mental health concerns including but not limited to anxiety, depression, OCD, self-development, relationship difficulties, divorce and unresolved caregiver relationships.

While she considers herself an integrative therapist, she specializes in acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), self compassion and positive psychology.

Her authentic leadership, warmth, and curiosity foster a nurturing safe space for individual and group therapy. She is renowned for her “Self Care Group Workshop”, a resiliency curriculum. She fosters a cohesive group to help group members discover their internal resources and co-create their own self care toolbox.

Dr. Jen pursued clinical training in a variety of hospital, community, and private practice settings, including McLean Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Tufts Pain Center, Umass Lowell, and Providence College.
