JENNIFER VILLENA, LMFT

EMDR, EMDR Intensives & Talk Therapy

Jennifer Villena, LMFT, brings a fresh and relatable approach to therapy. Jennifer is a supportive hand to guide adults through life transitions like fertility challenges, perinatal/postpartum shifts, pregnancy loss, grief, career changes, midlife, menopause, and evolving roles in relationships and motherhood. Her approach alleviates these transitions' anxiety and uncertainty, offering a profound relief and reassurance.

Jennifer specializes in women's mental health, anxiety, depression, and trauma, especially helping mid-life women navigate perimenopause/menopause, body changes, motherhood changes, or the question, "Who am I now?" This stage is not just messy and emotional but deeply transformative. You don't have to go through it alone. Jennifer understands and validates your experience.

Certified in EMDR, she helps women heal from past wounds, reclaim their confidence, and rediscover themselves because we all deserve to feel like our best selves. Drawing from my own experiences (as a midlifer), Jennifer fosters a deep, personal connection and trust with her clients while maintaining an honest and, at times, humorous atmosphere. Her warm and down-to-earth style creates a safe, judgment-free space for growth.

With a unique blend of EMDR and talk therapy, Jennifer provides a comprehensive, compassionate space to process your experiences, heal from the past, and move into the next chapter more clearly and confidently. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of your mental health are addressed, giving you the confidence to move forward.

Business Coaching for Therapists: Transition with Confidence

In addition to her therapeutic work, Jennifer is deeply committed to empowering fellow therapists as they transition into private practice. She understands the unique challenges that newly licensed therapists and those moving out of group practices face, and she aims to provide clarity and confidence during this pivotal phase of their careers. Jennifer offers business coaching sessions to address individual needs, helping her clients build a strong foundation for their practices. Through personalized strategies, actionable insights, and ongoing support, she assists them in developing effective marketing plans, setting up operational processes, and fostering a mindset geared towards success and sustainability in private practice.

It’s okay to seek support


You should never feel alone, and seeking support for whatever you are going through is always okay. It's perfectly fine to want someone to help you, provide support, offer a different perspective, and listen to you.

I am aware that there is a stigma attached to seeking mental health assistance, and I strive to educate people on the importance of obtaining quality mental health care in diverse communities. Life can be tough, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s talk.

Let’s find a way forward—together. Healing starts here
