Jen McNaughton LCSW

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, or neurodivergence. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stuck, burned out, or simply longing for change, you don’t have to figure it out alone. My hope is to offer you a space that feels safe, steady, and deeply respectful of who you are. At Arnica Mental Health in Boulder, CO, I work with adults who are navigating life transitions, healing from trauma, emotional overwhelm, or complex nervous system responses. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Brainspotting—gentle but powerful methods that help us work with both the mind and the body to support lasting healing. I’m especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent adults—including those with ADHD, Autism, and sensory sensitivities. Therapy shouldn’t ask you to mask or fit into someone else’s mold. Here, you’re invited to show up exactly as you are. Your unique ways of thinking, feeling, and moving through the world are honored, not pathologized. Most importantly, I want you to feel safe, supported, and truly cared for in our work together. Healing doesn’t happen overnight—but it does happen in trusting relationships. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are you. At Arnica Mental Health, I offer a space that honors the full complexity of who you are. My practice is grounded in the belief that healing happens when your whole self is welcomed—especially the parts that have felt unseen, misunderstood, or too much. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent adults, creatives, deep thinkers, and those navigating the lasting impacts of trauma. Whether you’ve tried therapy before or this is your first step, you’ll find a relational, collaborative approach rooted in curiosity and respect. What makes Arnica different? A trauma-informed, neuroscience-integrated lens. Flexible care that honors your pace, process, and nervous system. A unique blend of IFS, EMDR, and Brainspotting to support deep, embodied healing. A non-pathologizing, affirming space for people who feel out of place in traditional therapy. Online and in-person sessions available from Boulder, CO. You don’t have to go it alone. When you're ready to explore what healing can look like on your terms, I’m here to walk that path with you—gently, honestly, and at a rhythm that feels right.
