Jennifer Van Berkum
Licensed Psychotherapist in Florida (SW24404) , Alabama (6668C), and Maine (LC25795).
As the wife of a physician and someone who has worked closely with RNs, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals, I understand firsthand how emotional exhaustion and constant pressure can take a toll. I specialize workplace burnout, with a strong focus on helping healthcare professionals heal from compassion fatigue. As far as all of the fancy credentials go, I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidenced based eye-movement based treatment for trauma. Additionally, I am a Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) and have had formal training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT).I offer therapy sessions in-office or via telehealth in Florida. Additionally, I offer therapy services in Alabama and Maine (telehealth only).I am a laid-back therapist, so it’s not unusual for me to wear jeans or sandals at the office.
I was born, raised, and have lived in Florida my entire life. My babies are my Pembroke Welsh Corgi and two cats. I have lived experience with mental health and know what it is like to sit on the other side of the couch. I had convinced myself for years that my ultimate goal was to strictly stay within the realm of medical social work. Opening my own private practice was never in the books for me until I started looking for a therapist myself. I found very few therapists who specialized in supporting healthcare workers or who had ever worked in a hospital setting. The need was there, but the options were limited. So, I decided to create the exact space I was looking for and here we are! Ta-da!
In my free time, I co-host a podcast with my favorite Texas therapist, Nikita (Yee Haw!). Coffee shops and hot yoga classes are my two favorite places to be.

Of course! I do work with a myriad of folks and needs. However, I specialize workplace burnout, with a strong focus on helping healthcare professionals heal from compassion fatigue.
Yes! I am currently in network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Carelon, Florida Blue, Quest Behavioral Health, and more!
I am not accepting new sliding-scale clients at this time. I can provide a superbill for out-of-network clients to help with potential reimbursement. Please reach out with any questions, I'm happy to work with you.
