About Jennifer Floran

Jen Floran is a licensed clinical social worker with over 12 years experience working with families experiencing significant stress.  She specializes in depression, grief, parenting, perinatal mental health, and relationship issues.  She has an eclectic approach to therapy drawing from her background in adoption, child welfare and counseling new mothers.  She has training in perinatal depression and anxiety as well as childhood trauma and most recently worked with Children’s National Health System providing mental health services to adolescent parents in collaboration with their medical care provider.  She believes strongly in blending physical and mental health to create overall wellness.  She is a 2005 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Social Work and a member of Postpartum Support International.  

Jen uses empathy, warmth and humor to create a space where people feel heard and valued to regain hope.  She has a deep compassion for those struggling with life transitions and understands the obstacles in finding the time and energy to work on oneself.  She believes therapy should be a collaborative process whereby people build on existing strengths that will help through moments of feeling stuck, down, isolated or overwhelmed.  She gently encourages and supports people in making lasting and healthy life changes.
