Dr. Jeffs has trained in a wide range of clinical environments including community mental health centers, private practices, child advocacy centers, and academic medical settings. Her therapeutic approach is primarily grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-focused care, while also integrating other evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). She values radical genuineness, authenticity, and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship, and is passionate about empowering children and adolescents to build meaningful lives, succeed in their goals, and envision bright, hopeful futures.
