bio

Jennifer Spitler is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC). She holds a bachelor’s degree in cultural studies/critical theory, and a master’s degree in clinical counseling psychology, with a focus on health psychology.

Jennifer began her training working with adults with chronic and severe mental illness, dually diagnosed with developmental disabilities. It was in this setting where she became inspired by the hearts and minds of the disabled/neurodiverse community, and developed a passion for disability advocacy. She received her training in mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) as well as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Jennifer loves teaching people how to meditate, and how to bring that experience into their day to day lives.

Jennifer has a strong clinical interest in neurophysiology. She was diagnosed with ADHD in her 30’s, and developed a passion (hyperfocus, if you will) for learning more about the complexities of the human brain. She loves taking abstract neurophysiological concepts and making them easy to understand in order to help folks have more awareness & acceptance of their lived experiences. Jennifer is also a certified ADHD professional.

Jennifer has a background in critical theory/cultural studies. She maintains a strong passion for culture, systemic power dynamics, and intersectional implications on mental health for individuals and communities. Jennifer works to establish an accountable space where layers of privilege, micro-aggression, and implications on mental health can be explored to establish coping and resilience.
