Jennifer Jay
Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist
I look forward to assisting you on your journey towards your desired change, health, and well-being.
I am glad you have made the courageous decision to seek therapy. Taking care of our mental health and relationships is just as important as taking care of our physical well-being. Seeking therapy can help alleviate your symptoms of distress, improve your overall well-being, and assist you in more effectively navigating relationships. I look forward to collaboratively assisting you to make the changes you desire. My approach to therapy is strengths-based, compassionate, and collaborative. I utilize evidence-based strategies to assist with effective change. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds. You are uniquely you and so we will search for solutions unique to you and your situation. A bit about me. My name is Dr. Jennifer Jay and I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist. I have 27 years of experience working in mental health - specifically private practice settings conducting individual, couple, and family therapy as well as Higher Education teaching, supervising, and training other Marriage and Family Therapists. I earned my Bachelors degree in Psychology at Wichita State University, my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Abilene Christian University, and my PhD in Human Development and Family Science from Oklahoma State University. I am a Clinical Fellow Member and Approved Supervisor through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and the State of KS. I look forward to working with you.
