Jenafer K. Delaney, MSW, LICSW
Internal Family Systems informed mental health therapist
Providing therapy to others has turned out to be my passion that I never aimed for. I came to this work through an accident of the pandemic and, it turns out, that I am able to find meaning and fulfillment in partnering with others on their healing journey. It is my honor to form a therapeutic alliance and hold space for unconditional acceptance and admiration of you in totality.
My goal is to teach you how to be with yourself when in joy and distress. To allow the full range of emotion which is the fullness of life. To find meaning and solace in your pain and past. To move forward with security in self.
I am an Internal Family Systems informed practitioner with training in complex trauma and I see these as complementary when engaging with nuanced levels of dysregulation. That sense that something just isn’t right, but not knowing why. That’s where we can dig in. I’ve had a lot of therapy in my life and I went into this work with the aim to be the kind of therapist I always wanted. I provide psychoeducation because there is empowerment in knowing what is happening with the dysregulated self. Equally important is fleshing out the connected, creative and confident selves.
As for who I am outside of work. You can find me sipping a comfy hot beverage with a friend, escorting my dog outside, biking on the many bike trails that we are blessed with, engaging in mindful and creative activities either solo or in a group, and spending time with family. My Alaskan tribes are Athabascan and Tlingit and my father will never let me forget that I am also Irish. I find and draw upon the strength and humor of my ancestors.
