Jennifer LaVancha, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #140768
Hi, I’m Jen. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. You don’t need the perfect words or a clear plan to begin.
It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for help when life becomes too difficult. I want to join with you during your heavy season by creating a space, just for you, to be heard and understood. My goal for treatment is to develop a safe and inviting space where clients can access tools, resources, and the support necessary to embrace their full potential.
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a Minor in Human and Family Development from Arizona State University. I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
I consider myself a person-centered therapist; however, I’ve found that integrating elements from various approaches helps to customize treatment plans to my clients' needs. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches, as well as elements of Existential and Narrative therapy. I am also trained in Brainspotting and use this therapeutic technique to help heal clients from their traumatic experiences.
Outside of therapy, I’m a wife and mom of four. I love to read and journal over a great cup of coffee. You might catch me bike riding, practicing yoga, or spending time with my family. I love to travel and be outdoors. I’m originally from Central Florida, and I’m a huge Disney fan!
