Jennifer Trainor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC Ed.S. (she, her)
Hello! My name is Jennifer Trainor, LPC, Ed.S. and I’m an eclectic psychotherapist licensed in the state of Virginia. I
have worked in private practice, treatment homes and K-12 schools in Washington D.C., Virginia and California for
the past 16 years. I am kind, direct, and have a deep love for humanity. I work with children, adolescents, adults
and families. My practice, Mental Health Counseling and Consulting, LCC (MHCC) seeks to reframe and
revolutionize the perceptions of mental health awareness, education, counseling and consulting services from that
of an exclusively pathology driven state, to one of basic human rights and an understanding of the central nervous
system. We feel this is important for a few reasons. First, MHCC celebrates diversity and inclusion, is LGBTQIA
Friendly, Sex Positive and Neurodiversity Affirming. We have expertise in depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions and trauma. Secondly, we educate and empower you to learn skills and tools in a proactive versus reactive state, and then show you how to share what you’ve learned with friends, family, co-workers, etc.
Third, MHCC asserts that you are your own expert, and therefore your own best healer, and we serve to companion you and offer you support using a myriad of evidence-based interventions to help you surpass your goals. We pull from traditional psychology, sports psychology and the expressive arts to ensure your unique needs are met and that you feel confident in choosing which techniques will work best for you, regardless of the situation you face.
Lastly, MHCC is a collaborative, safe and trauma-informed practice, well versed in complex traumatic post stress disorder, and therefore we won’t confuse or misdiagnose internal and external presenting symptoms. We always bring in a somatic component to our work together, so you become well versed in how to recognize dysregulation within, and how to re-regulate your body into a parasympathetic state. Our work can be done in person, on “walk and talks” or over zoom.
