Embrace Change: Empowering Women to Thrive Through Life's Transitions
Empowering all women-especially in midlife—through inclusive, trauma-informed therapy and EMDR, guiding healing, resilience, and self-discovery
JENNIFER VILLENA, LMFT
My Mission
My mission is to support the mental and emotional well-being of all women—especially those in midlife—through compassionate, inclusive, and trauma-informed therapy.
We live in a world that often overlooks women, minimizes our voices, and labels us as the "weaker" sex. But I see the truth: women carry so much strength, wisdom, and magic during all seasons of life—especially during midlife when we’re expected to stay quiet or disappear.
I offer a non-judgy space for women to speak openly about their experiences instead of hiding in frustration or shame. It is a place to feel seen, supported, and reminded that you're not alone. Together, we explore your story—your pain, your transitions, your growth—and help you reclaim joy, confidence, and clarity.
Through evidence-based practices like EMDR and a holistic lens that honors mind, body, and spirit, I help women reconnect with themselves, heal old wounds, and move forward with purpose. I hope you feel grounded, empowered, and more at home in your skin.
EMDR, EMDR Intensives & Talk Therapy
Jennifer Villena brings a fresh and relatable approach to therapy.
She specializes in guiding women through life transitions, trauma, perfectionism, and self-worth challenges, and focusing on midlife issues like perimenopause, career changes, and shifts in motherhood.
She is a certified EMDR Therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) who blends EMDR and talk therapy. Drawing from my own experiences (as a midlifer), Jennifer fosters a deep, personal connection and trust with her clients while maintaining an honest and, at times, humorous atmosphere. Her warm and down-to-earth style creates a safe, judgment-free space for growth.
Jennifer provides a comprehensive, compassionate space to process your experiences, heal from the past, and move into the next chapter more clearly and confidently. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of your mental health are addressed, giving you the confidence to move forward.
Business Coaching for Therapists: Transition with Confidence
In addition to her therapeutic work, Jennifer is deeply committed to empowering fellow therapists as they transition into private practice. She understands the unique challenges that newly licensed therapists and those moving out of group practices face, and she aims to provide clarity and confidence during this pivotal phase of their careers.

AREAS OF SPECIALTY
It’s okay to seek support
You should never feel alone, and seeking support for whatever you are going through is always okay. It's perfectly fine to want someone to help you, provide support, offer a different perspective, and listen to you.
I am aware that there is a stigma attached to seeking mental health assistance, and I strive to educate people on the importance of obtaining quality mental health care in diverse communities. Life can be tough, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s talk.
Let’s find a way forward—together. Healing starts here
