Dr. Jen Bachtold Licensed Psychologist

As a psychologist, my passion lies in helping individuals navigate life's challenges and facilitating their journey towards growth and healing. I believe in the power of therapy to foster self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful change. It is an honor to walk alongside my patients as they explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. I use a comprehensive approach that may incorporate various therapy modalities depending on the needs of the session. Each session may be different and tailored to YOU! In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress and adjust the therapy approach as needed and as goals are met! I am fully committed to providing services that affirm the dignity, worth, and value of all individuals. I am dedicated to promoting an environment of respect and appreciation for the race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, national origin, age, ancestry, physicalmental ability, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, gender identity, gender expression, and socioeconomic status of all persons. I believe in creating an atmosphere of openness, trust, respect, and safety where diverse attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors can be explored and discussed. Mental health concerns are often affected by social forces in the environment related to power and privilege such as racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, heterosexism, and other forms of marginalization and oppression. My practice fully embraces providing high quality, diverse, and multi-culturally sensitive services that affirm the dignity, worth and value of all individuals.
