Jennifer Jahahn, LMHC, 200 YTT
Psychotherapist, Somatic/Yoga Therapist
(she/her)
You have struggled with feeling, naming, tolerating, regulating and expressing your emotions. You may have been diagnosed with PTSD, Bipolar disorder, or Borderline personality disorder. You may have been in therapy for years, done traditional talk therapy…perhaps CBT and DBT, and it has been helpful, but you find yourself wondering if there might be something more. Something feels like it's missing. The deep wounding is still there. You may have heard your intuition whispering to you, but have been afraid to listen and trust what it is communicating. You want to connect with your most authentic Self and live the life you want. You CAN, and there IS more.
My approach to therapy is rooted in my belief that the body holds an infinite amount of wisdom-you have everything you need within you to heal and thrive. I am an experiential therapist and work with challenges around emotion regulation, mood regulation, personality disorders and trauma using both talk therapy and body-based practices to heal from within. I utilize a variety of somatic practices including felt-sensing, mindfulness, breathwork, movement and meditation to address deeply-held, "stuck" trauma held in the body. By realigning the separation between the body-mind, we can integrate the fragmentation of Self that resulted from trauma so that you can return to wholeness.
As a person living with Borderline Personality Disorder, I truly understand the challenges it presents. I was turned away by many therapists when disclosing my BPD, which prompted me to become a therapist myself! I graduated from Bastyr University with my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology and have worked in outpatient care, partial hospitalization and residential treatment centers with those struggling with anxiety, mood and eating disorders as a somatic/yoga therapist.
In my free time, I love to read, belly dance, experience as much live music as possible, and spend time with my husband, adult son, Luna, our 14-year old Beagle, Olaf, our 3-year old Bernese Mountain dog and Salem, our spooky black cat. I am a practicing Witch and can be found seeking solace and soul healing along the saltwater shore and within the wild woods of Washington.
I am here to truly be human with you-to witness, embrace and hold space for your lived, body-mind experience in all its aspects. I invite you to become curious about your life's journey- lets walk together on your winding path to the waters edge and swim together beneath the surface...what might we find within the hidden, murky depths?
