Jenny Perini, LFMT

After working for decades in the film business as a studio executive and producer, I found myself craving a way to have more meaningful impact and authentic connection with others. I made the switch to psychotherapy, and have never looked back. My love of story and character in film feeds into my fascination with the  human psyche, and how the stories we tell ourselves become the makeup of our lives, for better or worse. I have seen time and again that when people are able to challenge their maladaptive stories and assumptions-  about self, others, and the world- they tap into much richer and more expansive possibilities for themselves. 

I have extensive training in couples therapy modalities. I am a Level Two PACT Therapist (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), have completed the EFT Externship (Emotionally Focused Therapy ) and completed the Gottman Level One Training. 

For individual clients I offer EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing-  an evidence based treatment for PTSD and other mental health and trauma related challenges.  

My therapeutic lens is heavily influenced by Attachment Theory and IFS (Internal Family Systems).  I have a certificate in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, have completed a year-long training in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, am a teacher-trainee in nature-based meditation with Awake in the Wild, and am currently studying Buddhist Psychology at Spirit Rock.

Whether you meet with me in person in San Francisco, or online from anywhere in California, I am committed to helping you find more clarity, calm and confidence in your life.
