You Don't Have to Pick a Method on Your Own.

Walking into therapy and being handed a list of six modalities can feel like homework before you've even started.

You're not expected to know which one fits.

Jennifer offers Brainspotting, EMDR, IFS, NARM, and somatic therapy, along with KAP through Julia, and she'll help you figure out where to begin based on what you're bringing into the room. And you get to change your mind as you go.

How Do We Decide Which Method Is Right for You?

You might wonder why one week looks like EMDR and another feels like somatic work. That's not random.

At ELTC, Jennifer draws from Brainspotting, EMDR, IFS, NARM, and somatic therapy, plus KAP when it's the right fit.

Instead of a fixed protocol, she pays attention to what your nervous system needs in a given session and moves with it.

Maybe your body holds tension your words can't reach yet. Maybe a memory keeps pulling you back to a version of yourself you've outgrown.

The method changes. The care behind it doesn't.

Curious which approach might fit you?

Healing Goes Deeper Than Words

Sometimes the most powerful healing doesn't happen through talking, it happens through connecting with what your brain and body already know.

Brainspotting helps you access and release what's been stored beneath the surface, the things you may not even have language for yet.

It's gentle. It's focused. And it trusts your own system to lead the way.

You don't have to keep pushing through. There's another way forward.

What If Nothing "Bad" Happened - But You Still Hurt?

A lot of people walk around carrying pain they can't quite explain. No dramatic event. No obvious cause. Just a lifelong sense of not quite belonging, not quite feeling safe, not quite knowing who they are. That's developmental trauma, and it's real.

NARM therapy was built for this. It helps you trace the patterns you've been living in and gently loosen their hold, without requiring you to dig up every painful memory.

You're not making it up. And you deserve support that sees the whole picture.

We see you. Let's talk → Link in bio.

You Don't Have to Build Community Alone🤗

Connection doesn't happen by accident, especially when the world wasn't built with your brain in mind. Sometimes it takes a space designed on purpose.

Our Neurodivergent Community Group gives late-identified adults exactly that: a small, consistent circle of people walking a similar path, meeting twice a month with Jennifer Dodd.

What starts as showing up to a Zoom call can turn into the kind of belonging you didn't know you were missing.

Late-Identified Adults Get Overlooked. We Built This for You.

Most assessment models were designed with children in mind, then loosely adapted for adults. That leaves high-masking, late-identified adults falling through the cracks.

Our evaluations are built for adults from the ground up. Jennifer and Julia work together on developmental history, current functioning, and lived experience, not a checklist written for someone else's brain.

You get a diagnosis that reflects how you've moved through the world, not a guess based on outdated criteria.

When a Memory Won't Stay in the Past

Maybe it's a memory that replays without warning. Maybe it's a feeling you can't quite name but that shows up in your body every time something reminds you.

EMDR was built for exactly this. It helps your brain gently reprocess those experiences, without requiring you to retell the whole story, so the weight starts to lift.

You've been carrying this long enough. You don't have to keep white-knuckling your way through.

Let's talk about what support could look like for you → Link in bio

A Space Built for People Who Get It

Finding out you're neurodivergent later in life can feel like relief and disorientation at once. Where do you even bring that?

Our Neurodivergent Community Group meets every other week, online, with no more than eight people in the room.

It's facilitated by Jennifer Dodd, who was diagnosed later in life herself. It's simply a place to be around people who already understand what you're describing before you finish the sentence, without any performance required.

You Deserve a Therapy Room Where You Don't Perform

Every other room in your life asks you to be something.
Productive. Composed. Easy to deal with. Agreeable.

Therapy should be the one place where none of that applies.

At ELTC, individual therapy with Jennifer is built for people who are tired of managing how they come across. The ones who masked so long they forgot what's underneath. The ones who held everyone else's emotional weight and quietly dropped their own.

Jennifer uses EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, NARM, and somatic therapies because the work that changes things doesn't stay in your head. It moves through your nervous system, your body, the parts of you that learned to shut down a long time ago. Sessions are 50 minutes via telehealth. Available in CA, OR, WA, DC, and MD.

Out-of-network, with superbills provided for potential reimbursement.

You've spent enough energy performing wellness. This is the space where you get to be honest instead.
