Therapy that gets to the real you. Comfortable, confidential, and designed to fit you
Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer Marks.
I’m a licensed psychologist with a background in both psychology and sociology — which means I see people not just as individuals, but also as products of their relationships, environments, and cultural experiences.
My work is grounded, relational, and real. Whether you're navigating trauma, burnout, identity shifts, or quiet questions about who you’re becoming, I help you slow down and tell the truth in a space that feels safe, respectful, and affirming.
I work especially well with women who are used to holding it all together — the thinkers, the feelers, the ones who rarely ask for help. If that’s you, welcome. You don’t have to hold it alone here.
I also support men who are navigating the emotional weight of traditional masculinity — the pressure to always provide, protect, and never fall apart. Together, we create space to examine what you've been carrying, and what you’re ready to set down.
My clinical approach blends insight-oriented therapy with practical tools for change. I believe people thrive when they feel seen, respected, and supported — not pathologized.
My work is rooted in a core practice I call VAE: Validation, Affirmation, and Encouragement. These aren’t just comforting ideas — they’re critical strategies for helping people reclaim their voice and restore emotional safety in their relationships.
I also help clients explore patterns across the lifespan, understanding how early relationships, systemic influences, and internalized roles shape the way they function today. This often includes helping people slow down, reflect, and begin to choose differently.
While my therapy style is open-ended and relational, I also integrate structured approaches when appropriate — including tools from DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
Ultimately, therapy with me is collaborative. You won’t be handed a formula. You’ll be invited into a space where your full self can show up — messy, complex, brilliant, and in-process.
