About Me

Hello! My name is Jennifer Halper (I prefer Jen) and I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R)

with a private practice located in Amherst, NY. I am also licensed in Colorado and see clients via Telehealth only. I am

originally from Long Island, NY, moved to Buffalo, NY in July 2018, and moved to Colorado in May 2023. I have my

Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Molloy College and Master's degree in Social Work from New York University.

In addition, I have a Post-Master's Certificate in Child and Family therapy from NYU and am fully trained as an EMDR

(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist.

​

My goal for therapy is to work towards helping my clients find the strength and resilience needed to get through what life brings to the table. I use multiple therapeutic approaches with each client and tailor therapy to each individual's needs. I take great pride in building a strong therapeutic relationship with the clients I see, as I believe that is the foundation of therapy. It can seem like a challenge to find a good therapist, but it is absolutely worth it to push forward until you find the best fit for you.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families as a whole. I enjoy watching people grow throughout the therapeutic process, whether that entails mending strained relationships, decreasing negative thoughts or behaviors, increasing self-esteem, embarking on a new journey, or finding personal strength. My passion to help others is what motivates me daily.
