Jeremy Jensen, Psy.D.
Childhood, adolescence, and early adult years are times of great potential. As a psychologist serving Marin County and San Francisco, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the complexities that inevitably arise as young people move through these foundational stages of development. I work creatively with clients to optimize growth and learning, offering solutions to challenges that arise for individuals, between family members, amongst peer groups, and at school. I also conduct a full range of psychological and educational assessments, helping to identify social and emotional needs and learning differences that are often central to the struggles that young people face. Furthermore, I have extensive experience consulting and training educational staff as well as advocating for clients in school settings throughout the Bay Area to ensure that their individual needs are met in the classroom and beyond. I offer a variety of service options to accommodate the diverse needs of the families and educational systems I serve, including in-home services, teletherapy, school consultations and trainings, and office spaces in Mill Valley, Corte Madera, and San Francisco, CA.
