Meet Dr. Jen Blanchette

Dr. Jen Blanchette is a licensed psychologist, former private practice owner, and therapist burnout consultant dedicated to supporting therapists and heart-centered professionals. She understands the unique challenges they face—balancing the demands of serving others while often confronting burnout repeatedly.

Having experienced these struggles firsthand, Dr. Blanchette recalls her own journey of navigating the desire to leave her role as a trauma therapist during the pandemic.

With a neuroscience-based approach, Dr. Blanchette helps create the space needed to uncover the answers clients are seeking.
