Jennifer Phillips, LCSW, LICSW
About me
As a therapist, I provide mental health services to diverse and underserved populations, including adults, seniors, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I have over 8 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Alabama, Arizona, Illinois, and Utah.
My mission is to help my clients cope with various challenges and improve their well-being, using the biopsychosocial model that examines the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors. I employ evidence-based treatment modalities, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused CBT. I also have extensive training in geriatric assessment of cognitive and physical functioning, and I enjoy working with older adults. Additionally, I am a certified clinical supervisor with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, and I mentor and support other social workers in their professional development.
