Jen McNaughton, LCSW – Supporting Adults Through Life’s Challenges

I work with adults navigating a range of challenges—including depression, anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, and co-occurring mental health concerns. I also work closely with neurodivergent clients, and I strive to offer a space where people feel accepted and supported just as they are—without pressure to mask or explain themselves.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and flexible. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Brainspotting, DBT, and CBT, depending on what feels most useful to each person. I often bring art and creativity into the process as an additional tool for healing. Whether you're looking for support in the moment or working toward longer-term growth, I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you.

I also want clients to know that I am a committed LGBTQIA+ ally. I welcome folks of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and expressions into a space that is affirming, respectful, and free from judgment. My intention is always to honor the full complexity of your identity and lived experience.

My path to becoming a therapist began with a BA in English from Michigan State University and early work in arts nonprofits. I later earned my MSW from Simmons University, and completed an internship—and later a therapist role—at Teton Youth and Family Services in Jackson, WY. There, I had the chance to learn from seasoned clinicians and gain experience in both individual and family therapy. Since then, I’ve worked in private practice and larger mental health organizations in Jackson, WY and Boulder, CO, deepening my skills across different settings.

In my work, I aim to bring curiosity, steadiness, and care. I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable—and I do my best to make that step feel a little easier, and a lot more human.
