MEET JENNIFER
Jennifer Jung, JD, LSW, is a Licensed Social Worker pursuing her clinical license. In May of 2023 she received her Master’s of Social Work from the UH Mānoa Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health with a concentration in Behavioral Mental Health. In 2010 she graduated from the William S. Richardson School of Law with her JD and is currently a licensed attorney in Hawaii.
Jennifer is trained in EMDR and the Safe and Sound Protocol and weaves those together to assist clients in pursuing their therapeutic goals. She also pulls from an Internal Family Systems perspective recognizing every person is worthy of belonging and connection. Relationships play a crucial role in helping us connect to a deeper understanding of self and others. But sometimes these relationships are a source of pain, stress, and heartache. Interpersonal relating in a therapeutic environment encourages healing and growth alongside these trauma-informed modalities and tools: EMDR, SSP, and IFS.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a unique listening therapy that helps to regulate the nervous system. To find out more about the SSP and how it can enhance your therapy journey please visit: https://www.whatisthessp.com/
Jennifer continues her work as an attorney at a local nonprofit focusing on immigration law specifically as it impacts survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. She is passionate about integrating trauma informed lawyering in her legal practice. After 13+ years of experience and training in the legal field she honors and holds space for the stress so often accompanying difficult interactions with our legal systems. Her legal work with clients from around the world helps her deeply appreciate individual and collective differences as well as the importance of uplifting family roots and culture in navigating therapy. While she cannot be both a therapist and attorney for the same client, she uses her legal expertise to help inform her therapy practice and vice versa.
Jennifer is unable to work with insurance at this time, and has an out of pocket fee of $50/session. To schedule an appointment, please call our office at 808-387-4355 or email paradigmhawaii@gmail.com Mahalo!
