About Jennifer Cornett, AMFT
Jennifer Cornett, AMFT (AMFT137447)
Jennifer is an associate MFT who works directly under my supervision. She brings a warm, engaging presence along with her extensive training and experience working with traumatic stress. A few words from her about her approach:
I am an evidenced-based, trauma-informed psychotherapist who incorporates somatic interventions and mindfulness skill-building into my sessions. My typical clients are survivors of childhood emotional/physical/sexual abuse, or have experienced rape, accidents, domestic abuse, narcissistic parenting, work trauma, and relationship traumas. I am trained in EMDR, use DBT, CBT, parts work, and conceptualize each client through a culturally competent lens. With my specialization in trauma, I prioritize resourcing my clients with polyvagal exercises, breathwork, and desensitization to anxiety to foster feelings of safety and connection within. I am available for both in person sessions and online sessions.
I’m currently developing my expertise working with Anxiety Disorders such as Panic Disorder, OCD, and Social Anxiety using ERP, and CBT under the supervision of Negar Khaefi, who has been a specialist in these issues for many years.
I’m also versed in helping couples and families navigate issues arising from childhood abuse, neglect, parental narcissism, immigration, and intergenerational trauma. I’m Gottman Level 1 trained help partners increase connection and understanding.
My practice is sex and body positive, welcomes and celebrates all sexes, sexual orientations, cultures, and relationship orientations.

Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse (Women)
Living with memories of childhood sexual abuse is isolating. You may feel like nobody is able to handle hearing about it. It’s important to be part of a community who understands, never judges, and has experienced the same things. If this is how you feel, this group is essential for you. We use a trauma informed lens to foster feelings of safety, and cohesiveness within the group.
Traumatic Loss Grief Group
Have you recently lost someone close to you very suddenly or under traumatic circumstances? Do you feel disoriented, confused, unable to function, or have flashbacks of the loss? Maybe you feel like you’re coming in and out of denial, or that you’re going back and forth between the stages of grief. You may benefit from the supportive environment of a group. You don’t have to be alone in your feelings of loss. The world is a strange and crazy place right now. Reach out for support because sometimes it takes a village.
