JENILYN HASELDEN

Graduate Marriage and Family Therapy Intern

Who Am I?

I am Jenilyn Haselden (she/her), a Marriage and Family Therapy Intern. I work with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, and personal growth. I believe that our relationships and environments significantly impact how we understand ourselves, and I enjoy helping clients explore these patterns with compassion and curiosity. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

I love working with:

Individuals exploring their identity, relationships, and personal growth
Couples and families working through communication and relationship challenges
Families navigating transitions and changes in family dynamics
Adolescents and young adults developing greater independence and confidence
Individuals wanting to better understand their emotions, relationships, and behavioral patterns

Some of my favorite approaches include:

My approach begins with meeting clients where they are and creating a space where they feel safe to be authentic. I use a client-centered and strength-based perspective while viewing individuals within the context of their relationships and larger family systems. I am particularly drawn to Bowen Family Systems Theory, which helps clients develop greater awareness of emotional patterns, strengthen their sense of self, and build healthier relationships. I also incorporate elements of Internal Family Systems and other approaches when appropriate to help clients better understand their emotions and internal experiences. Above all, I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to walk alongside each client as they work toward greater self-awareness, connection, and growth.
