Jennifer Whipple Psychotherapy

Hi, I'm Jen and I use she/her pronouns, and I have been working as a therapist with people of all backgrounds in Western Washington for the last years. I work primarily with couples and do only EMDR with individuals. I have significant experience working with queer populations coming out, gender identity, transgender/non-binary identities, kink/poly, sexual orientation, queer parenting and conception, and intersectional identities. ​My background in athletics as both an athlete and coach has put me in positions to help current and former athletes through ways in which athletic identity impacts mental health and though transitioning to life outside of sport. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and I currently take individual clients who exclusively want to work on trauma intensively with EMDR. More frequent or longer sessions are the most effective for processing and integrating trauma to completion. I am Level II trained PACT therapist. PACT stands for the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy and developed by Stan Tatkin, PsyD, LMFT. PACT is a combines neuroscience, arousal regulation, and attachment to help partners securely function. I the impact of privilege and oppression on one's mental and physical health, and on the therapeutic relationship. I work hard to have awareness of my own privilege in the therapeutic dynamic and invite conversation around the impact of privilege and oppression at the interpersonal, institutional, and internalized levels. ​
