JENNIFER SCHURFELD, MA

Jeni Schurfeld (she/her), is a therapist with experience working across inpatient, day hospital, and outpatient settings, supporting adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, relational distress, personality pathology, and complex emotional patterns.

​

Her clinical background includes extensive work with high-acuity presentations, including borderline personality disorder, emotional dysregulation, and chronic interpersonal instability.

Her style is warm, engaged, and deeply attuned, while remaining grounded, direct, and oriented toward meaningful change. She works especially well with clients who are insightful, emotionally complex, and ready to examine longstanding patterns with honesty. Her approach is particularly well-suited for high-functioning individuals who may appear capable on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in ways of coping that no longer serve them.

​

Her work is rooted in a relational, trauma-informed lens and integrates person-centered therapy with DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based approaches. She is especially skilled in helping clients build emotional awareness, strengthen distress tolerance, and develop a more honest relationship with both their internal world and the choices that shape their lives. Her approach emphasizes insight, accountability, and the capacity to translate self-understanding into meaningful, sustainable change.

​

Jeni believes therapy is most effective when it offers both depth and direction: a space where clients feel deeply understood, gently challenged, and supported in becoming more deliberate in how they relate to themselves, their emotions, and the people around them.
