Welcome. I’m Glad You’re Here.

Starting psychotherapy is a leap of faith that takes courage.

Finding the “right fit” in style, personality and approach is so important.

 

Hi, I’m Jennifer DeSouza.

If you are looking for a space to slow down and sort through your experiences with someone who can hold them, and guide you through the process, then we might be a great fit. 

My mission is to help you overcome obstacles and improve your ability to meet the challenges life throws at you.

If you want to make changes but don’t know where to begin, I encourage you to get in touch.

 Kind words from colleagues

  • "Jennifer is attuned to what is being said and what emotions or experiences might be under the surface. She is skilled in knowing when to help the client examine their beliefs about themselves, offering alternative ways of looking at behavior without taking away agency from the participant."

    –BF, COLLEAGUE

  • "Jennifer is an incredibly patient and understanding clinician. She does not rush clients and allows them to set the pace of therapy. She is attuned to what is being said and what emotions or experiences might be under the surface. Jenn shows genuine curiosity about how and why we interact and engage in certain ways. This style gives the client an opportunity to discover more about themselves in a non-judgmental way and make meaningful adjustments in their lives."
