Jennifer W. Bradford, PhD, C-PMHPPartner/Licensed Psychologist

Work collaboratively to create the life you deserve to be living. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in life, or simply needing support? Maybe you have been struggling for a while. Jenifer approaches therapy as an opportunity to listen, provide support, and assist you in developing clarity as well as new tools for addressing your concerns. Therapy can provide relief, insight, and strategies to help you become or return to the best version of yourself. Stop doing things you don't want to be doing and understand the life you desire.

Jennifer is a relational therapist. She is interested in examining patterns clients engage in that support, maintain, and prevent the challenges/symptoms they are experiencing. Jennifer works with clients to explore the relationships they have with others, within their environments, and with themselves to understand where these work effectively and where these patterns need adjustments or shifts in perspective. She also believes the therapy relationship is very important and works to provide a safe, compassionate space in which clients feel comfortable collaborating in their treatment. Her approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic with an emphasis on attachment theory and developmental theory. She also integrates mindfulness and self-compassion into her work.

Jennifer specializes in treating women's issues, relational issues, and infertility/ pregnancy concerns as well as stress/anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. She has a special interest in working with college students, new moms, women balancing transition in life, and assessment (including evaluations for IVF, egg/sperm/embryo donations, and gestational carriers). She is also available for supervision and consultation for pre-licensed and new professionals.

Jennifer is originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma. She attended the University of Oklahoma (BA, MEd) and the University of North Texas (PhD) and completed an APA-Accredited Internship at the University of Pennsylvania followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Southern California. She spent 10+ years providing therapy services within university counseling centers, most recently at SMU. She is also an adjunct instructor at Seton Hall University in their online Master’s Degree program. Jennifer has been in private practice since 2012, and she is a Licensed Psychologist in Texas and California as well as an LPC-S in Texas. She holds an interjurisdictional license to practice via telehealth in most other states (PsyPact) and has advanced training and certification in perinatal mental health issues (C-PMHP).

Jennifer lives in Dallas with my husband, 2 children, and 2 cats. Outside of work, she can be found chauffeuring kiddos and being a spectator at various youth sporting events. Jennifer also enjoys baking, reading by the water, college football, baseball, and quiet spaces (this one is elusive)!
