Jennifer Kind, LPC

Jennifer Kind is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with over 11 years of experience supporting adults and couples. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that begins with increased awareness - a first step toward shifting long-standing patterns of thinking and behavior that no longer serve a person. Those shifts, she believes, lead to new reactions and more sustainable ways of living.

Her clinical work blends evidence-informed methods and relational perspectives. Jennifer integrates mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, Nonviolent Communication, Relational Therapy, Hakomi, and The Daring WayTM into an eclectic approach tailored to each client. She is a Certified Daring WayTM Facilitator, and that training is central to how she supports growth around shame resilience, self-compassion, and personal agency.

Jennifer holds a Master of Arts in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, a program that emphasized both Eastern and Western psychological traditions and an integrated view of psychoanalytic, behavioral, humanistic, and transpersonal approaches. Her counseling style is relaxed and collaborative, guided by empathy, curiosity, and a sense of humor. She aims to help people cultivate greater self-compassion, shift unhelpful habits of thought, and reclaim a stronger sense of choice in their lives.

Outside of formal goals, Jennifer welcomes clients who want to explore psychological ideas and enjoy moments of lightness and laughter during the therapeutic process.
