Humans are relational beings. We spend our lifespans in family systems, communities, social networks, and political systems that impact how we understand ourselves, others, and the world. In that experience, we sometimes lapse into behaviors and modes of processing that impede our mental, emotional, and relational well-being. This might look like anxiety, depression, stress, relational conflict, substance abuse, and/or unprocessed trauma. Psychotherapy provides a nurturing space for you to explore these matters while developing self-awareness and strategies for acceptance and change.

If you're looking at the pieces of your relationship and sex life and wondering how the hell to put it together to feel alive again, let's talk. You're looking for help because you can't get through to each other, intimacy feels distant, sex feels pressured or awkward, and everything seems to be even more complicated by infidelity, life stress, parenthood, or years of the same tired routine. Something's got to give. You're beyond ready to feel at home, connected and comfortable in your body and relationships.

To move confidently into our future, we must resolve the past while remaining grounded in the present. Everyone is capable recreating their lives and expanding upon their healing, but this process often requires deeper insight into who we are, what we’ve been through, and what beliefs we’ve accumulated because of these experiences. I’m here to help you manage the challenges that come with tackling a new life in recovery, guide awareness into what initiated the destructive cycle to begin with, and support you to reach new goals beyond just getting sober.

I believe that therapy involves a collaboration between the client/s and the therapist. If a client is not part of the decisions, the ideas, the relationship, and the motivation, achieving the desired change is much more difficult. I understand that being in a relationship of any kind can be difficult and I believe that everyone needs help navigating the obstacles that we are bound to encounter in love, family, friends & life. I love being a part of that process. My role as a therapist is to collaborate with, empathize with, support, understand, and encourage my clients. I do this through face to face as well as tele/video therapy.

For over 38 years, I've created collaborative conversations with clients that generate new possibilities for change. I use a postmodern approach and strive to understand how clients make meaning of themselves, others, and the world around them. I tend to be active in those conversations - not passive - and I am respectful and goal-oriented. I also enjoy writing, providing consultation to other professionals, and speaking to audiences about love, dating, and relationships.

Hello! Maybe you love engaging in all sorts of sexual activities but can’t quite shake a sense of shame for it. Maybe you deeply love your partner, but you’re not sure if monogamy is for you. Maybe you had your autonomy horrifically taken from you, and you’re ready to take your body back. If you’re ready to talk about the things you are scared to talk about, I would be honored to listen and help you explore who you are. I believe that sex and sexuality are integral parts of our lives that can bring joy and healing, but I know how scary and overwhelming it can be to explore them.

Hi! I’m Dr. Jasmine Jenkins, but my clients usually call me Jasmine, Doc, or Dr. J. I am a multiculturally focused licensed psychologist and the founder of Rejuvenate! I specialize in group treatment for people of color who want to heal, learn new skills, and build a life of wellness. Although I am currently focused on groups, in individual therapy, I work with people who: 1) “just need a person/professional to talk to,” 2) Desire help with mild mental health symptoms, 3) Struggle with emotion regulation and/or want to find a reason to stay alive. → these individuals usually benefit from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

With honest self-reflection and a desire to make behavioral and/or cognitive changes, my clients are able to reach new levels of satisfaction. I believe that by utilizing one's own strengths and preferences, with a dose of humor tossed in, most clients will be able to feel empowered to manage and solve most of life's problems with a hopeful attitude right away.
