About

Jen Phippen, LCSW

It takes strength to be vulnerable and seek help. I am grateful you found me on your journey to change. 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 psycho-spiritual therapist, I create healing experiences utilizing EMDR, breathwork, psycho-education and somatic practices. I combine evidence based interventions with spiritual principles to help ambitious women at the middle age threshold connect with their divinity and 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.

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 utilize much of what I have learned on my path to assist in the evolution of my clients.

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

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.

Personally, I value travel, community, exploration, and growth. I am a mother to two young energetic boys and have the honor of being a step-mother to a lovely young woman. I have a night stand full of books that I swear I am going to read. I sing loudly to every song but never actually know the lyrics. I also have created a tarot deck (Tarot of Transcendence) as an offering to help others self heal.

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.
