Jennifer Friedman, MD, LCSW-C

Jennifer Friedman is an MD and a LCSW-C based in Maryland with four years of clinical experience. MD indicates a medical doctor, and LCSW-C denotes a licensed clinical social worker with clinical training to provide psychotherapy and psychosocial support. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, motivation difficulties, and depression, and she also works with concerns related to communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, midlife transitions, self-love, women's issues, and workplace struggles.

Jennifer draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to tailor care to each person’s situation. She approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and brings strengths that can be used to move through obstacles. That belief shapes a collaborative process in which the therapist offers guidance and support while centering the individual’s goals and values.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life often takes courage, and Jennifer positions herself as a supportive partner in that work. Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies, increased self-awareness, and building on existing resources to navigate life changes and improve day-to-day functioning.
