Jennifer McKeown, MA, LAC
Welcome! Seeking support is one of the most courageous and self-aware decisions a person can make. My name is Jennifer McKeown, and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor. I hold a Bachelor's in Psychology from Montclair State University and a Master's in Counseling Psychology from St. Elizabeth University. I bring both academic grounding and real-world depth to my clinical work. Before entering private practice, I spent many years as a Certified School Counselor — an experience that sharpened my understanding of how the pressures of daily life, relationships, and identity shape our emotional wellbeing at every stage. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating some of life's most demanding terrain. My areas of focus include: Anxiety and depression, Grief and loss, Perinatal mental health, Life transitions, ADHD, Couples and family dynamics, Interpersonal challenges and personal growth. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, tailored to who you are and what you need — with Person-Centered Therapy as my core foundation. That means our work together will be grounded in genuine warmth, deep respect, and the unwavering belief that you are the expert on your own life. Wherever you are in that process, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
