About Carol Jensen
Psychotherapy focuses on restoring perspective and building confidence in addressing life’s challenges. My approach is interactive, collaborative, and based on an appreciation of each person's creative potential. Through asking questions, sharing knowledge and observations, and getting feedback, we work towards self-discovery and understanding. Together we focus on clarifying goals and identifying effective ways to meet them. Psychotherapy involves recognizing and addressing patterns, expectations, or beliefs that may have been helpful in the past but are now interfering with moving forward. Barriers are removed, and strengths are identified and fostered, becoming the foundation for new ways of approaching things.
I believe that psychotherapy works best when there is an appreciation of the whole person and when the methodology, whether insight oriented or experiential, is based on the goals and what is most helpful for this person at this time. To this end, I am comfortable with an approach that flexibly moves between working on understanding and working on concrete change. I have a working knowledge of psychodynamic, developmental, cognitive-behavioral, systems, and interpersonal perspectives. My expertise includes insight-oriented approaches, cognitive-behavioral therapy, systems therapy, play therapy, mindfulness and EMDR. I strive to be flexible and to focus on what will work.
