Jenna Tapia
Clinical Social Worker, Couple and Family Therapist
Bachelor of Visual Arts (USYD), Masters of Social Work (UoM)
Jenna works with individuals, couples and families to foster an authentic, safe and trusting therapeutic relationship to understand what problems they face, support them as they navigate these difficulties, nurture their capacity for resilience and work towards creating deeper and connected relationships.
Jenna has over 12 years of experience as a Social Worker in government and non-government organisations, providing counselling services to people from a wide range of backgrounds with issues related to complex trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, family relationships and functioning and Parent-child attachment (particularly within the perinatal period).
Jenna draws from a Strengths based, Attachment, Family Systems and Trauma- informed framework to facilitate clients to gain improved emotional insight and a deeper awareness of behaviours, communication issues and interactional patterns experienced in relationships. Working collaboratively and creatively with clients, Jenna strives to tailor therapy to the unique needs of each client to cultivate positive change and healing.
In her non-work time, Jenna enjoys the liveliness of keeping up with two young boys, spending time with family, being creative and soaking up the outdoors and nature as much as possible.
