Hi, thank you for looking at my profile. I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years treating children, adults and couples in various settings. I have helped clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, ADHD, LGBTQ, autism, stress, relationship issues, grief and just day-to-day concerns that may arise. I provide mostly a client centered approach to therapy but will tailor my treatment modality to the client’s needs. My goal is for clients to feel safe, respected and understood. My philosophy has always been to treat others as I would want to be treated. My sessions will start by discussing what brought you to therapy and then later together we will come up with a short term and long term goal to meet your needs. I look forward to working with you! Warmly, Jennifer Kempner, LCSW, MEd

As a licensed therapist in both New York and South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional/relational landscapes and identity concerns. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges related to self-esteem, shame, life transitions, sexuality, addiction, and interpersonal relationships. I bring a compassionate and affirming approach to working with my clients. My therapeutic approach emphasizes building rapport and responding compassionately to my clients. This involves attempting to be warm and empathetic in how I connect to you, while balancing that with holding you accountable. I draw from evidence-based practices to support clients in developing stronger self-compassion, self-awareness, interpersonal skills, and emotional regulation skills. I emphasize learning to embrace a paradox of compassionately accepting yourself as you are, while simultaneously embracing the need for change which are based in concepts that I borrow from Dialectal Behavioral Therapy. Whether you're struggling with emotional distress, relationships, identity concerns, or seeking to change self-defeating habits, I'm committed to creating a supportive and compassionate space for your healing journey. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and aim to provide culturally responsive, inclusive care that honors each person's unique experiences and strengths.
