Jennifer Blair
About
Rooted in the belief that healing requires stepping outside of our comfort zones, Jennifer Blair offers a therapeutic approach that is both transformative and deeply compassionate. As a licensed therapist specializing in trauma-informed, humanistic, and liberatory approaches, Jennifer creates a sacred space where profound healing, safety, and connection can flourish.
Jennifer's practice is built on the understanding that our personal experiences and social environments shape us, sometimes causing harm and creating conditions where we embody adaptations for survival. These adaptations often separate us from our authentic selves, leaving us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. With this insight, Jennifer guides her clients towards clarity, acceptance, and ultimately, permission to reconnect with themselves in an honest and loving way.
Working primarily with adolescents and adults, Jennifer employs a diverse toolkit of therapeutic modalities. Her approach incorporates Polyvagal Theory, Somatic work, and Narrative Therapy, allowing clients to explore their stories and bodily experiences in a holistic manner. She is also trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), providing a comprehensive range of techniques to address various mental health concerns.
Jennifer's expertise spans a wide range of areas, including personal growth and healing, anxiety and depression management, improving nervous system health, navigating significant life transitions, and healing from traumatic experiences. Her practice is grounded in an attachment lens, focusing on differentiation, expression of thoughts and feelings, processing and integrating traumatic experiences, improving emotional regulation, and learning to set and maintain healthy boundaries.
As a therapist, Jennifer embodies compassion, non-judgment, and a strengths-based approach. She strives to meet clients where they are, ensuring that support is collaborative, transparent, and caring. Jennifer's commitment to anti-oppression work is evident in her practice, cultivating an environment where clients can bring their whole selves into the room and feel truly seen. She is LGBTQ+ affirming, body positive/neutral, sex positive, and spiritually open, creating a safe and inclusive space for all clients.
Jennifer Blair invites you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, guided by her expertise and genuine care. Through her unique blend of therapeutic approaches and her warm, accepting presence, she offers a path to reconnect with your authentic self and move beyond historic patterns into new ones that offer truth, meaning, belonging, and safety.
