Professional statement

Dr. Jennifer Brownstein is a licensed psychologist who works with individuals and groups seeking greater meaning, emotional balance and more fulfilling relationships. Many of the people she works with feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self criticism, or stress, even while functioning well in other areas of life.

Dr. Brownstein takes an integrative approach to therapy, grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self compassion, and positive psychology. Rather than focusing solely on diagnoses, she emphasizes the whole person and supports clients in strengthening their internal resources, such as core values, self kindness, and character strengths. Clients who tend to benefit most from her work are curious about their emotional and relational patterns and have a desire for meaningful change.

Dr. Brownstein brings both expertise and warmth to her work, with over a decade of clinical experience across hospital, academic, and private practice settings, including Cambridge Health Alliance and Harvard Medical School. Clients often describe her as curious, attuned, and supportive. She is known for her therapy groups, which focus on building resilience, self compassion, and connection. The group members develop practical tools while feeling less alone with their emotions and self critical thoughts. With her diverse clinical background and compassionate presence, Dr. Brownstein is passionate about helping adults connect more deeply with their values, ignite curiosity, and enhance their overall sense of well being.

Dr. Brownstein offers secure telehealth sessions to adults located in Massachusetts, New York, and Florida. She maintains physical office locations in Boston and New York while currently seeing clients remotely.


Message to clients

I am committed to co-creating a space where you can show up as you are. Therapy with me is a place to slow down, make sense of what you are carrying, and move toward what matters most to you with intention.

I hold deep respect for the fact that you are the expert in your own life, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you in this process. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and respect for your lived experience. Our work often weaves together thoughtful reflection and practical strategies, while also making space to explore deeper emotional and relational patterns.

Clients often find that our work leads to greater clarity about what matters to them, less inner pressure and self-judgment and a stronger sense of steadiness in relationships and daily life.

If you are wondering whether working together could be a good fit, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary consultation. I look forward to connecting and exploring how I might support your journey.
