Jennifer Boston, LCSW — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Jennifer!

I have experience working with people with a variety of mental health issues.

My focus

I have worked with many different people over the years. I have worked with people with depression, anxiety, psychosis, cancer, and a host of psychosocial issues.

My approach

My therapeutic approach involves CBT, active listening, and solution-focused therapy.

My communication style

I am very straightforward but tactful. I like humor and will use it to lessen the intensity if appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always wanted to help people. I know that sounds like a cliche. Human behavior has always been fascinating to me, the way we treat each other, but more importantly, the way we treat ourselves.

My goals for you

I like to start setting goals as soon as possible so we both know which direction we want our sessions to go in.

Our first session

I will be gathering information but also developing rapport. I want anyone speaking with me to feel comfortable, as therapy can be a scary thing.
