Conflict Resolution Services
In addition to psychotherapy, I offer consultation and conflict resolution services for those struggling to find peace in their living environment, families, or polycules.
Under current economic circumstances, many of us are living with others we may find challenging. I work with individuals, dyads, and groups to clarify shared values and goals, create workable agreements, and facilitate dialogue that clears long-standing conflict and restores the heart of the relationship.
ABOUT
Jenni Evans, MSW, RSW
(she/her)
"I am happy to meet you wherever you are at, and hear whatever it is that needs to be heard."
I’m a queer, neurodivergent, cisgender settler passionate about relationships, holistic mental and emotional health, and conflict resolution. My therapeutic practice supports individuals, couples, polycules, roommates, families, and chosen families as they navigate the challenges of relationships, being in community, survival under capitalism, and the quest for meaning in their lives.I practice with a critical lens — acknowledging and validating the systemic challenges people face while struggling to improve their emotional, mental, financial, and spiritual lives.My goal is to help you unpack your feelings, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, and strengthen your felt agency to make desired changes — all while validating the very real barriers you may face in this work and in the world. Healing while living with ongoing oppressions is complex.My practice is also relational: I focus on the relationships in our lives that are important to us as critical aspects of our learning, felt safety, and development. I collaborate with people to understand the nature of peace, power, and conflict within their relationships, and how we can bring more compassion, honesty, and felt safety into our conversations and ourselves during conflict.
☽I bring lived experience with poverty, chronic pain/illness and periodic disability, single parenting and co-parenting, and supporting loved ones through addictions and mental health issues — alongside a trauma-informed lens and a deep commitment to non-judgment.☾
Outside the (metaphorical) therapy room:
I'm cozy with my daughter, my partner, and our cats. I frolic in the forest, draw, crochet, listen to records, debate political theories, do advocacy work, watch fantasy and sci-fi, and seek out the weirdest art and music events I can find.
