Dr. Kacey Jenkins
Dr. Jenkins is a licensed marriage and family therapist with advanced training in perinatal mental health, EMDR, and the complex emotional journeys surrounding fertility, pregnancy, and early parenting. She is certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) and EMDRIA-certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which she integrates into therapy to help clients process trauma, reduce distressing symptoms, and feel more grounded in their day-to-day lives.
She supports individuals and families through fertility challenges, pregnancy, loss, birth trauma, and the tender postpartum period, with a particular focus on the transition of bringing baby home and reshaping the family system. She has been trained in fertility counseling, Embodied Trauma Conscious Reproductive Health, and Innate Postpartum Support, allowing her to offer care that honors the body, nervous system, and lived experience. Her approach is intentionally culturally responsive, attending to how race, culture, gender, family history, and community context shape each client’s experience of mental health and parenting.
Parenting support and coparenting are central to Dr. Jenkins’s work. She helps parents and caregivers strengthen their relationships with their children, navigate differences in parenting styles, and build healthier coparenting dynamics during separation, divorce, and other major transitions. Whether working with partnered, single, intergenerational, or blended families, Dr. Jenkins focuses on practical strategies that promote safety, connection, and emotional attunement for both caregivers and children.
Dr. Jenkins frequently uses EMDR as a treatment modality for birth and medical trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and other distressing life events, helping clients gently reprocess what feels “stuck” so they can move forward with more freedom and self-compassion. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative; she aims to create a space where clients feel seen and understood while also feeling supported in making meaningful change in their lives and relationships.
Since 2009, Dr. Jenkins has taught undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, counseling, and marriage and family therapy programs, with a strong emphasis on developing clinical competence, cultural humility, and systems thinking. Her academic and teaching background, combined with her clinical and consultation work, allows her to bring both real-world experience and up-to-date, evidence-informed practices into the therapy room
