Jenn Lam is a mental health counselor under the supervision of Dr. Remmes. Jenn’s therapeutic approach is eclectic and personalized to meet the needs of each individual. Philosophically, she resonates most with person-centered and existential theories, while leaning on the practical methodologies of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She received her clinical training at the Quad Preparatory School, a school for twice exceptional learners, and also has experience using Ross Greene’s Collaborative and Proactive Solutions.
Jenn is a former teacher with over a decade of experience with many roles in public and private NYC schools, starting as a preschool teacher and most recently concluding as a social emotional learning specialist at Speyer School, a K-8 school for gifted learners. In these roles, Jenn was involved in individual and group counseling, admissions, advising school administration, and developing anti-bullying policies and procedures. As a mental health clinician, these experiences give her a unique lens when partnering with schools and advocating for children’s needs.
As an educator, Jenn was most interested in bringing out each child’s full potential by helping them own their vulnerabilities and turn them into strengths.This naturally translates into her work as a therapist with people of all ages. Jenn is interested in working with clients whose goals include becoming comfortable expressing their authentic selves to experience fuller, more aligned lives.
