Ms Jeanne Freed

Clinical Social Worker

Verified

“An experienced clinical social worker and psychotherapist offering short to long term psychotherapy for adults and teenagers.”

About Me

I offer a thoughtful, reflective space to help you navigate emotional challenges and complexities, deepen self-understanding, shift unhelpful patterns, and build a stronger connection to yourself and others.

Approach

I believe our past experiences shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world, and that understanding these patterns can be key to creating change in the present. My approach explores both past and present experiences, including thoughts, emotions, beliefs, relationships, and how emotions may be held in the body, with the aim of fostering insight, healing, and meaningful change.
