ABOUT ME

Jenna Hendricksen

Hello, and welcome! I’m Jenna Hendricksen, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in New York City. My passion lies in supporting individuals and couples through life’s challenges, offering guidance and strategies to help you thrive. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, providing a safe and compassionate space to navigate transitions, manage trauma, reduce anxiety and depression, and strengthen relationships.

With a focus on evidence-based techniques, I integrate approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness practices, and behavioral therapy. My experience also includes several years of working with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, helping them build meaningful connections and achieve personal growth.

My Approach to Therapy

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where we combine your life experiences with my therapeutic expertise to unlock your fullest potential. I strive to create a trusting and nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe, heard, and validated. Together, we will work toward your goals, empowering you to navigate challenges and embrace positive change.

I thrive when working with clients who are motivated and ready to actively participate in a supportive and collaborative journey. Whether you’re seeking help for personal growth, relationship improvement, or coping with life’s transitions, my goal is to provide tailored guidance and compassionate support every step of the way.

Education and Background

I earned my Master’s degree from LaSalle University and have since dedicated my career to helping clients build healthier relationships and navigate life’s complexities with resilience and clarity.

My certification from EMDRIA (2021) and my role as a Prepare and Enrich Facilitator further enable me to offer specialized support, whether you’re processing trauma or preparing for a stronger marital foundation.

Let’s Connect

As your therapist, my priority is to create a space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered. Therapy is not just about addressing challenges—it’s about discovering your potential and creating a life that reflects who you truly are. Whether you’re seeking help for a specific issue or looking to explore personal growth, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it’s also a powerful act of self-care. I offer free phone or video consultations to discuss your concerns and explore whether we’re a good fit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth.
