Jenifer Jimison

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I’d love to share a bit about my background and experience to help you decide if I might be a good fit for your therapy journey.

I’ve worked in the mental health field for over 9 years. I began as a medical social worker, where I gained valuable insight into how medical and environmental factors can deeply impact mental health. I then had the privilege to work with Hosparus Health, where I walked alongside individuals in their end-of-life journeys for 3 years. Combined with my own personal experiences of loss, that time gave me a deepened understanding of grief, life, and the complex emotions surrounding death and dying.

For the past 5 years, I’ve been in private practice, where I’ve focused on expanding my skills in trauma work across the lifespan. My own life experiences, along with a strong passion for supporting others, have guided my commitment to this path.

My work with children and parents is grounded in relationship-based approaches, and I’ve received training in Theraplay, Filial Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), Polyvagal theory, Sand Therapy, EMDR integrated with CCPT, and Synergetic Play Therapy combined with CCPT.

When working with teens and adults, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Parts Work/Ego States, and EMDR. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and a Registered Play Therapist.

I look forward to meeting you.
