Jen Rapanos has developed a distinct approach to working with children and adolescents. She draws from over two decades of work in mental health as a School Social Worker and Outpatient Therapist, and blends her direct experiences with extensive education and training in mindfulness, yoga, trauma and EMDR. This results in a specialization of working with children and adolescents while using therapy that integrates both the mind and body, as a tool for well-being.

As a psychotherapist, Jen has spent the last two decades working solely with children and adolescents and is most passionate about supporting youth who are challenged by learning how to manage anxiety in their daily lives.
