Jennifer Watson

My communication style

My style is calm, reassuring, and focused. I want you to feel comfortable sharing feelings and concerns. You'll have a safe place to work toward finding paths forward, even when life feels challenging. I listen carefully and provide feedback in a way that makes sense to you.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with a desire to help others. I find the meaningful connections this work creates truly gratifying. Life can be challenging, and I feel compassion in helping others navigate these challenges. That intrinsic feeling of meaning drives me to continue this work.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is informed by your needs and perspectives. Building trust in our relationship is central, allowing time for you to share thoughts in finding meaningful goals. I want to understand what you hope to accomplish. We'll review at the end of each session and sometimes plan what you want to work on between sessions.

Our first session

During our first session, I want you to share what's bringing you to therapy now. We'll focus on how you're feeling and spend time so I can begin to understand you, including what you hope to accomplish. Your needs and perspectives will shape our session as we begin to develop connection and trust.
