Hi there! My name is Jen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the beautiful state of Oregon with over 11 years of experience in working with adults and couples.
I believe that we all have the ability to create wholeheartedness within ourselves, but sometimes we just get stuck in old patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are no longer serving us. It can be difficult to get out of the habit of these patterns, which can leave us feeling frustrated, ashamed, hopeless, and so many of the other not-so-fun feels!
Therapy can be a helpful tool in dealing with, and eventually changing, these unwanted patterns. My theory of change is that it first begins with awareness. This awareness then leads to subtle shifts in our reactions, which help to form new patterns of thoughts and behaviors. I help clients create this lasting change in their lives by using an eclectic approach based on Mindfulness, The Daring Way™ (the work of Brene’ Brown), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Neurobiology, Relational Therapy, Attachment Theory, Nonviolent Communication, Hakomi, etc. My counseling style is relaxed and collaborative, and chock-full of empathy, curiosity, and humor!
I hold a Master of Arts Degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. The focus of my program was a blend of East and West theories of psychology, as well as an integrated approach to the four waves of psychology: Psychoanalytic, Behavioral, Humanistic, and Transpersonal. I’m also a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator and it is the foundation of my work as a whole. #BreneBrownFTW
So, if you’re wanting to cultivate more self-compassion, build more shame resilience, change your ways of thinking, and finally have true agency over your life, I can help you with that!
BONUS: if you also want to nerd out on psychology and laugh a lot, I’m definitely your girl!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jennifer has been such a pleasure to work with. I feel heard and supported. She has a way of actively listening that makes me comfortable being open and honest.
Jennifer Kind is the best listener ever and she just understands how I’m feeling. I feel so comfortable talking to her.
I appreciate Jen so much. Not only is she compassionate and gentle in her replies, she is also hilarious! I look forward to her messages; it's amazing how much she understands about me. She's also made me think about things in a new way--which I desperately needed. I was very skeptical about therapy at first, but I feel lucky to have been matched with Jen. She made me feel so comfortable with the whole process.
Jennifer is true to her name, Jennifer “Kind.” She is thoughtful and supportive. Offers insight and validation. She has helped me feel confident in my choices and feelings. She allows me to talk through my fears and helps me move forward so I can come to a better place. What I love is often she makes me laugh and I do not feel exhausted, but a big sense of relief. She makes sure I’m always thinking about self care which keeps me on track!
Jennifer Kind is like having a close girlfriend who you’d want to drink wine and do crafts with...but also tell all your problems and secrets, too. She’s so down to earth, yet professional. I feel very confident that she cares about me as a client and is capable of offering practical solutions and guides to help me.
Jen is a phenomenal therapist, I’ve been able to start a daring recovery process with her and every step of the way she has been validating, supportive and kind with a great sense of humor to boot.
Jen is AMAZING don’t know what I’d do without her. That’s all.
I think Jen is very knowledgeable, understanding, and shows a high degree of empathy.
Genuine perspective on feelings seemingly too cumbersome to navigate alone. Thank you.
Jen is extremely calm and easy to talk to! She's really good at knowing when to let me ramble a bit and when to offer some insight or suggestions. She helps me with specifics and notices patterns that I sure didn't. She's also upfront and easy to work with - you know her schedule, how often she'll answer, etc. I'd highly recommend!
Jennifer is wonderful! She listens when I need it and gives feedback when I need it. She takes the time to explain to explain why I'm feeling a certain way biologically or scientifically and has been working with me to get to the root of my feelings and help me manage it. I love working with her!
Jennifer has been a valuable source of calm and support during a particularly challenging and chaotic stage in my personal and professional life. I leave our sessions feeling more centered and clear on my feelings, with a plan of action to manage the week ahead. Love working with her!
Jen has been a wonderful person to share my thoughts with. She is able to put language and organization to my problems and gives me a sense of hope and clear path forward. I'm very grateful to be counseled by her.
Jen is awesome, she is fun and takes her time to read what you wrote and her answers are really helpful.
Jennifer is like the fairy godmother of therapists - she really is magical in the way that she helps you get unstuck in your ways, and is one of the most compassionate, validating people out there. From the first interaction, I could tell how genuinely passionate she is about helping people feel their best. Offers great advice, worksheets and laughs!
Jennifer is extremely warm and welcoming. I feel incredibly comfortable talking with her.
I am happy with my counselor, I am looking forward to our interaction
