Hi, my name is Jennifer Woodruff. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social worker practicing in the states of TN, RI, NJ, MT, and DC. I enjoy working with college students who are in transition - either just entering college, choosing a major, or graduating and looking for that first job! Or if you're just having a hard time with a particular class, teacher, friend, etc. and just need someone to talk to. My specialties are Depression, Anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; though I have treated a wid...
My practice is dedicated to working with people who are seeking emotional emancipation. They desire to claim or reclaim their lives after traumatic experiences or relational struggles that have left them feeling down, anxious, lonely, confused or scared and often don't really know how to begin to be different in the midst of all of these feelings. Working with me means exploring together the experiences that make you who you are by looking both at what your life is like today and how your pas...
Life throws curve balls. You don't have to take them on alone. I believe in creating a safe environment to help you manage everything you are carrying. In addition to private practice, I have experience working in community behavioral health for 7 years and in a brief intervention virtual program for 3 years, providing therapy to adolescents and adults. I have worked with clients with various diagnoses and those seeking assistance in self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, parenting, and g...
I will help you through healing, improving, achieving goals, and finding purpose in life. I'm here to assist you in developing skills that will improve your ability to be mindful, regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and be effective in your relationships. Learning these skills builds confidence, and assurance of self, and opens alternatives to getting out of the immediate stuck patterns. As your therapist, I help you to learn and practice these skills. To help ignite motivation, we will use mu...
Sometimes it's tough to go it alone. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and support, whether we're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, gender identity, sexual orientation, or general life stress. Kudos to you for taking the first step. I work primarily with adolescents and young adults, and together we figure out a plan on how to move through whatever's going on. You know more than you think you do - and we will navigate the challenges together....

You tell yourself you need a change or help, but you’ve been putting it off.

It’s time...

I earned my PsyD (Doctor of Psychology) degree at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and I have worked in different settings including university/community counseling centers, dual diagnosis treatment centers, and psychiatric hospitals (Austen Riggs Center). I work from a psychoanalytic orientation. This approach emphasizes the importance of both past and present experiences, relationships, emotions, patterns of being, and the unconscious. While it is natural to want to move away f...
College life can feel overwhelming. Between navigating academics, friendships, family expectations, career planning, and personal growth, students are often faced with unique stressors that can impact their mental health. While there are many options for support today, a lot of newer platforms miss the most important element of therapy—working with an expert, well-trained, and experienced therapist. MDRN Talk sets itself apart by being personalized, reliable, accessible, and compassionate. You’...
Before launching my clinical private practice, I worked at New York University’s on-campus mental health center, the Wellness Exchange, where I had the privilege of supporting undergraduate and graduate students through a wide range of challenges. My work there gave me direct insight into the unique pressures and transitions that come with college life—academic stress, anxiety, depression, identity development, dating & relationship struggles, and navigating independence for the first time. I al...

College can be one of the most exciting—and overwhelming—times of life.

I specialize in working with college students who are navigating these transitions and feeling the weight of it all. Whether yo...
Right now you may be overwhelmed by spiraling thoughts and debilitating fear -- struggling to process your emotions. People see you as smart and successful, but you don’t know if you can keep yourself together much longer. You’d like to understand yourself more and to learn skills that will help you feel stronger and healthier. This is the work that I do. I specialize in helping smart, caring women who struggle with anxiety learn to find more balance. Clients who’ve worked with me have report...
I enjoy living in the corners and at the fringes of what stereotypical therapy might look like. It is important to me that those who are outcasts, quirky, different, neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and the marginalized feel heard. When we work together, I want you to feel like you matter (because you do). If you like the utilization of tarot and oracle cards, we can incorporate that. If you need resources on affirming places to practice spirituality, we can look at those. If you want to talk about kink ...
