Meet our Psychologists:
Dr. Jenelle Anthony, Psy.D., has over fourteen years of experience as a clinical psychologist. She provides individual therapy to adults across the lifespan who are seeking greater insight into their thinking, behavior, and emotions, as well as those seeking psychological treatment for specific mental health challenges. Dr. Anthony firmly believes that introspection plus enhanced understanding of thoughts and emotions in therapy catalyzes positive behavioral and life changes, ultimately helping us discover and accept our authentic selves. Conceptualizing therapy primarily from a cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) perspective, Dr. Anthony employs an empathic therapeutic approach with a technical eclectic integration of evidence-based interventions. Within that framework, she relates to clients as a supportive guide and collaborative facilitator throughout their therapy journey to achieve the personalized goals of each client.
Dr. Anthony has focused her career on helping clients receive quality and affirming mental health care to improve their lives, their relationships, and their psychological functioning. The majority of her practice is devoted to inpatient and outpatient mental health care. She specializes in working with individuals dealing with PTSD and trauma-related issues, stressors of military-to-civilian and veterans’ transitions, life transitions and aging, workplace stress, chronic mental illness, brain illness and injury, mood disorders, women’s and minority mental health concerns, and those experiencing significant emotional and interpersonal challenges. Dr. Anthony has experience providing CBT for depression and anxiety, dialectical behavior therapy skills, social skills training, schema therapy, trauma-focused therapy, CBT and prolonged exposure (PE) for PTSD, and interpersonal psychotherapy. She also provides other cognitive and behavioral interventions to improve safety, coping, stress reduction, symptom and mood management, as well as psychological care adapted for individuals with brain injuries.
Dr. Anthony received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Loyola University in Maryland in 2006 and is licensed to practice psychology in the state of Maryland. During doctoral studies, she completed her research dissertation, “Ethnic Identification and Body Image in African American Adolescent Females.” She completed her doctoral internship at Dorothea Dix Hospital’s APA-accredited Forensic Psychology Program in Raleigh, North Carolina and completed post-doctoral work in the California Department of Mental Health. Her graduate work included a spectrum of training where Dr. Anthony served diverse individuals across the lifespan in school and hospital settings, in special needs home care, and in the Corrections and Judicial systems.
Dr. Anthony understands that therapy works best when clients have a voice. Therefore, she offers creative, compassionate, and empowering mental health care with a positive, strength based and culturally informed approach to ensure holistic and equitable client-centered care. To that end, she aims to engage all her clients in the process of meaningful change and wellness, and she is looking forward to helping you make a positive difference in your life.
