Jennifer Hopkins-Naylor - Psychologist, PsyD

Sometimes making the first phone call can be intimidating, but I listen without judgment or criticism and ensure a welcoming relaxed style that helps to minimize fear and support your goals. In therapy, I help individuals explore the specific actions, thoughts, and feelings that may contribute to repeating patterns that hinder personal growth, and emphasize existing strengths to develop specific workable goals. When appropriate, I believe in including the family system in therapy to improve relationships. I am also willing to consult with school professionals, pediatricians, psychiatrists, and guardians ad litem to improve care.

I provide individual and family therapy with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in trauma and family relationships. I work with those coping with grief/loss, sexual trauma, anxiety, parenting challenges, blended families, and divorce adjustment. With complex family dynamics, my forensic background allows for a neutral fact-based perspective.

I also conduct comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations of children and adolescents to assess for possible learning differences, dyslexia, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and social emotional difficulties. I work with parents to advocate for their child and collaborate with school professionals to implement appropriate intervention strategies.
