My name is Emily Jensen. I am a licensed healthcare counselor and social worker with more than 15 years’ experience, 10 of those working with domestic violence and abuse.

I’ve worked at shelters for victims of abuse for many years, supporting people who need support, assistance and protection after experiencing violence in a relationship. I have provided support and counseling both individually and in group settings for people have left an abusive relationship or who want to leave one.

I began my career in social services. There, I met people in difficult social and economic situations and helped them on their path to self-sufficiency through contacts with government agencies and community organizations. Through this, I have developed a good understanding of these systems and I am able to navigate them effectively.

I have extensive experience working with people suffering from various psychiatric diagnoses, particularly PTSD, neuropsychiatric disorders, and eating disorders.
