Jen Mccool

I am a licensed clinical social worker, queer artist, white/sefardi jew, radical leftist, and eldest sibling. I have about 12 years of collective experience in social work and therapy, including community-based mentorship and child advocacy programs. While I work across the lifespan, I specialize in psychotherapy for adolescence and young adulthood with a focus on intersectional LGBTQIA+ experiences; trauma processing; identity exploration; and anxiety and depression. Additionally, I have extensive experience supporting individuals who have been harmed by the child welfare system. I welcome work with queer, poly, and multicultural individuals from adoptive families, like myself, and love collaborating with clients to create culturally relevant brave spaces for narrative and relational exploration. I value a systemic perspective that is anticapitalist, intersectional, and ever-evolving. To be human is to have embodied experience that is not always verbally accessible. My experiences as an artist, avid puzzler, and former dancer, inspire me to complement our conversations with play, expressive arts, tactile activities, tarot cards (if that is your thing too!), and somatic interventions.
