Jennifer DeSchryver, Psy.D., IMH-E®

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Michigan (LIC#6301011358) and have PSYPACT Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology in other PSYPACT participating states. I am also an endorsed infant mental health mentor (IMH-E®). I have over 30 years of clinical experience and specialize in play therapy, child-parent psychotherapy, trauma, parent & caregiver support, and supervision & consultation. I offer a nonjudgmental, compassionate, inclusive, non-directive approach to clinical work, holding cultural sensitivity & intersectionality in mind for myself and others. I provide play therapy from a relationship-based perspective. Playing within a therapeutic relationship allows a child to communicate in a way that is developmentally appropriate and emotionally safe. I work to understand the child's experience through their play, which informs what is needed for positive behavioral change and growth. I believe that parents are essential partners in their child's treatment. I work alongside and with parents to support more positive interactions & healthy parent-child relationships. Another focus of my practice includes providing supervision & consultation for mental health professionals. I enjoy fostering & supporting clinicians' professional growth and development. I consult with and supervise clinicians who work with various populations across the lifespan and in a variety of clinical settings.
