Jennifer Whipple Psychotherapy

**NOTE: I am only accepting couples and individuals seeking EMDR therapy I’m Jen, a therapist with 14 years of experience in Western Washington. My work has included outpatient community mental health and substance abuse counseling, outreach and case management, and college-based mental health services. I work primarily with couples and offer intensive EMDR therapy for individuals who want to focus exclusively on trauma. My passion is serving queer and marginalized communities, with experience in coming out, gender identity, transgender and non-binary identities, kink/poly, sexual orientation, queer parenting and conception, and intersectional identities. I also enjoy working with current and former athletes navigating athletic identity and life after sport, as well as spirituality and spiritual trauma. I’m a Certified EMDR Therapist, trained in DBT, and a Level II PACT therapist. PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), developed by Stan Tatkin, combines neuroscience, arousal regulation, and attachment theory to help partners become a securely functioning system. My approach recognizes how privilege and oppression, including racism, transphobia, homophobia, sizeism, ableism, white supremacy, and classism, affect mental and physical health and the therapeutic relationship. I work with clients’ innate strengths to heal trauma and disconnection. Outside therapy, I love nature with my family, books, Aikido, exercise, meditation, and my community. ​
