Jenny Gardon MSW LICSW (206) 634-1642
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
753 N 35th Street, Office 304, Seattle, WA 98103
Location: Fremont Professional Building, one block south of the troll, 2 doors east of the Fremont Library
General Practice Area: I use my own hybrid of psychotherapy approaches in my work with clients.
• Somatic Transformation is an approach to healing from life’s traumas and anxiety that focuses on restoring regulation of our nervous systems, calming alarm, and strengthening our capacities to be close with self and others. This approach, applying the new findings in neuroscience to psychotherapy, is my current focus of study.
• Relational Psychotherapy has been my professional home and focus of study for 15+ years through classes, independent and group study, and in consultation. Emphasizing attachment and important relations as major organizing forces, this school of contemporary psychoanalytic thought makes use of the therapy relationship along with other important relationships to discover how we respond in relationship to each other.
• Mindfulness and a here-and-now orientation are old friends of mine, powerful allies in helping us to ground and settle our selves, to face what is, rather than fixate on what we wish were true.
• Family Therapy and Systems Theory are the bedrock of my early development as a therapist (1980’s), my focus in graduate school and during my initial work with children and parents in community mental health.
I now see individual adults and couples who come with a variety of troubles, including interpersonal conflict, disabling anxiety, depression, personality-disorder traits, mood disorders, chronic medical conditions, and heightened vulnerability to medical problems.
