Jennifer Hartmann

Jennifer Hartmann came to counseling by way of broadcast journalism, a career pivot that shaped her instinct to listen carefully and meet people where they are. Now a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 12 years of experience in Central Virginia, she brings that same attentiveness to every client she sees.  Jennifer became a therapist as she always wanted to help people and make a difference.  Jennifer is very compassionate in her approach with patients and believes that finding a right fit with a therapist is important.

Jennifer works with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger management, bipolar disorder, trauma, low self-esteem and self-harm.  She prides herself on creating a safe space that helps her clients build trust. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, and other treatment modalities with a person-centered approach to help people manage challenging emotions and behaviors.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from Hofstra University, minoring in Psychology, and received her master’s degree in professional counseling from Liberty University.

Originally from New York, Jennifer now lives in the Shenandoah Valley with her fiancée and their three cats. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, exercising, and hanging out with family and friends.
