Emily Jenchura, Ph.D.

At Cascade Clarity Psychological Services, I take a collaborative, integrative, and action-oriented approach to treating adults with a variety of mental and physical health concerns. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach you concrete skills and make small changes that can CASCADE to many aspects of your life. You'll also learn to cultivate mindfulness and self-compassion to reconnect with your core and gain CLARITY. I specialize in treating Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), life stress/burnout, Anxiety Disorders (Generalized, Social, Health, Phobia, Panic), Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (hair-pulling, skin-picking), Depression, Grief, Insomnia, Chronic Pain, and other chronic health conditions. Throughout my personal and professional life, I have enjoyed interacting with and learning about people from a diversity of backgrounds (age, able-bodiness, religion, ethnicity/race, SES, sexual orientation, national origin, gender, etc. ). These opportunities have made me adept at helping my clients navigate intersecting cultural identities and connect with their true selves. While I can adapt treatment to meet each person's needs, I come with my own cultural identity and biases, and am constantly learning and growing. Thus, I collaborate with you, the expert of your life, to find what works best for you. I received my Bachelor''s degree in Cross-Cultural Psychology from the University of Richmond, and earned my M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Arizona State University. I completed my APA-accredited predoctoral internship at the Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital outside Chicago, fulfilling rotations in PTSD, mindfulness, blind rehabilitation, and traumatic brain injury/polytrauma. At my APA-accredited postdoctoral fellowship at the West LA VA Medical Center, I specialized in Mindfulness and trauma-focused treatment. I''ve also trained at the Mayo Clinic in health psychology, chronic pain management, and cognitive rehabilitation. My research has been supported by the Fulbright Association and the National Science Foundation. I''ve co-authored several peer- reviewed articles spanning interests in cultural factors'' influence on psychological and physical health, caregiving, and healthcare technology.
