Jennifer Pentz, MA, LMFT
Specializes In:
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and my focus is to assist you in bringing hope and healing into your life. I received my M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University, and am available to see individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues related, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, substance use and recovery, self-harm behavior, eating disorders and body image issues, mood disorders, anger and stress management, life transitions, work and career related issues, and life coaching. I enjoy utilizing means of creative expression in therapy and believe these can be powerful avenues to help you express yourself while building upon your inherent strengths. I also incorporate mindfulness practices, including observation of self, guided imagery, and meditation. I work from a strength-based approach utilizing modalities such as Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Family Systems. I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere, with a caring and warm approach to allow you to feel comfortable and supported.
