Getting to know Dr. Jeannette Craigfeld
I am a Licensed Psychologist with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University and over a decade of training and experience. I completed my clinical internship at the University of San Francisco and a clinical fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley. I provide individual therapy for adults with a wide variety of concerns, particularly specializing in anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and relationship concerns. I work especially well with clients who struggle with being compassionate toward themselves and need a space to understand and embrace their authentic selves so they can pursue what they truly value in life. Additionally, I am able to provide assessments and letters for transgender and gender non-conforming clients seeking gender-affirming treatments. I earned my bachelor's degree from American University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I see therapy as a collaborative experience that is not one-size-fits-all. I integrate multiple theories in my work and pull mainly from humanistic, relational, and mindfulness and acceptance based therapies. I am also interested in understanding how your various identities (race, gender, sexuality, nationality, ability, etc) have shaped your experience in the world. I believe strongly in the great Carl Rogers quote that says "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I know that reaching out for therapy can be a vulnerable and daunting experience. I hope you are giving yourself credit for taking this first step. I am happy to answer any questions you may have, and I offer a free 30 minute initial consultation so we can get to know each other and make sure we would be a good fit for therapy before getting started. I strongly encourage starting out with weekly sessions, but I also understand that you may have scheduling or financial concerns that require more flexibility. Our sessions can be in-person (only Mondays and Fridays right now) or on video throughout the week. I believe strongly in making therapy more accessible and am willing to discuss any needs you may have in our consultation.
