I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Tennessee. I have over 13 years of experience working in an outpatient, private practice setting. I have worked with clients (of all ages) with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, depression, OCD, and compassion fatigue. I have worked primarily with combat veterans and victims of abuse/neglect/crime, but have also worked with survivors of medical trauma and natural disasters.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I see our work together as that of a partnership; I may be the expert on psychological interventions, but you are the expert on you! My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, and humanistic therapies. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique needs and desired outcomes.
It takes courage to confront those things that are the most frightening to you, and to seek a life outside of those experiences. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jennifer Hanket-Held. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is the best! I have lots of random things that I think of in between sessions that I usually message her about and she always responds, even if we have a session in a few hours.

After being bounced around by traditional therapy, Ms. Jennifer has given me a sense of stability and the confidence that she will be there when I need her. She hears my concerns/fears and we walk through them together.

Jennifer is so easy to talk to and listens to what I have to say. She’s not afraid to ask questions and to try to give me tools to use to try and fix the problem. She is very passionate and cares… I appreciate that.
