Jennifer Gaumer, LCSW

Jennifer Boden Gaumer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Southern California with more than 15 years of experience providing therapy. Over the years, she has supported clients across a range of settings, including a hospital-based child guidance clinic, a residential treatment center, and a community-based parenting program serving teenagers in foster care. Her background allows her to meet clients where they are and help them navigate concerns that may be affecting day-to-day life, relationships, and overall well-being.

Jennifer works with a wide variety of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, ADHD, OCD, and learning disabilities. As a trained forensic interviewer, she has also helped people who have lived through physical trauma or emotional abuse, bringing added skill and sensitivity to conversations that can feel difficult to revisit.

Originally from Connecticut, Jennifer relocated to Southern California in 2009. She earned her Master of Social Work degree from the University of Connecticut School of Social Work in 2001 and completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology at Clark University in Massachusetts. In therapy, her style is warm, interactive, and caring. She draws from approaches such as talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and problem-solving strategies to help clients build practical tools for managing distressing symptoms and creating meaningful change.

Jennifer views beginning therapy as a courageous step that reflects strength and a willingness to engage in a process built on trust. Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys gardening, home renovation projects, reading, spending time at the beach, and traveling with her husband and two daughters.
