Jen Phippen, LCSW

It takes strength to be vulnerable and seek help. I am grateful you found me on your journey to wholeness. I am confident that by taking care of those who give, we can heal ourselves and our families as an offering to the collective.

As a psychospiritual therapist, I create healing experiences utilizing EMDR, breathwork, psycho-education and somatic practices. I combine evidence based interventions with spiritual principles to help women connect with their power. I am a skilled EMDR certified therapist and can help you heal your trauma in service of being who you are meant to be to serve the world. I am always curious about how our internal and external systems have created maladaptive coping in our lives. Much of my work is rooted in unlearning these harmful ideologies.

I appreciate that we are all connected and honor the reality that modern systems and cultural programming have impacted women for thousands of years.

On top of my extensive experience working in my private practice and in hospice and palliative care, I have had my own spiritual healing journey, practicing and learning from Yogic and Buddhist traditions for well over 20 years. As a life-long seeker, I continue to learn new ways of healing that benefit both myself and my clients. I have personal experience with every modality I utilize and believe myself to be an embodied healer who is walking alongside you on the journey to wholeness.

I am genuine, effective and compassionate in my mission to heal others. I work best with women who are ready to face uncomfortable truths in the name of liberation. I am very direct and help my clients identify their maladaptive patterns in a loving way. I can see through a person's defenses and blocks and openly identify them with appropriate tools to transform their realities and discover their own unique journey towards healing. I incorporate humor, education and spiritual principles into each session and experience. If you are comfortable with direct feedback in the name of your own evolution then we should be a good fit.

Personally, I value spirituality, community, exploration, and growth. I have had the honor of learning directly from elders, Quanita Roberson and David Elliot, who have both demonstrated what it means to be an embodied leader. My individual and group work represents a deep desire for personal and collective liberation through healing the root. I am deeply inspired by the works of adrienne maree brown and Mirabai Starr as well as the late bell hooks, Joanna Macy and Ram Dass; all of whom inform my work in session and circle with clients. I am a mother to two energetic boys and have the honor of being a step-mother to a lovely young woman. My work is dedicated to them as I hope to be a part of shepherding a new, more loving world for generations to come.

I believe in utilizing techniques that can authentically create healing and help clients thrive independently in their lives. I pull from many inspirations to meet the unique needs of each client.
