Ms. Jennifer (“Jen”) Posner, Licensed Certified Social Worker- Clinical and Board approved supervisor in Maryland is the founder of Joining with Empathy. With over 15 years of clinical experience varying in social services, community mental health, school-based, and private practice she brings a blend of clinical skills allowing both her clinicians and clients to thrive. Her work centers on creating a calm, compassionate, and supportive space where people feel genuinely seen and understood. She helps adults move through anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and the quieter emotional weight that can build over time.
Her approach is steady, collaborative, and deeply understanding. She slows down and explores what’s really happening beneath the surface, and builds practical steps that support your well-being in a sustainable way.
She draws from evidence-based practices such as CBT, mindfulness, narrative therapy, trauma-informed/ relational care, and motivational interviewing, while honoring each person’s lived experience.
Clients describe her as steady, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. She values honest conversations, clear goals, and a pace that respects each person’s comfort and readiness. Whether someone is seeking relief, clarity, or a more grounded way of moving through their life, Jen walks alongside them with warmth and intention.
Her goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, trust your inner voice, and move forward in a way that feels aligned and authentic.
In her spare time Jen enjoys fitness, cooking, practicing self-care, reading, trying new restaurants, volunteering, and traveling.
