Dr. Jen Wehan

Hello, I’m Dr. Jen Wehan, a licensed psychologist specializing in child and adolescent therapy and assessment. I hold a Doctorate in School Psychology (Psy.D.) from Duquesne University and completed my pre-doctoral internship at The Children’s Center in Salt Lake City, where I focused on diagnosing and treating neurodevelopmental disorders in preschool-aged children. My clinical experience includes working with autism spectrum disorder, mood and anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and behavioral disorders. I further honed my expertise during my post-doctoral training at the Austin Child Guidance Center, where I specialized in diagnosis and evidence-based treatment for children, adolescents, and families.

 

I recognize that no single approach fits every individual, which is why I integrate a variety of clinical techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs and strengths. My therapeutic approach is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and I am also trained in parent-child interaction therapy to support families in fostering positive behavioral change.

My professional interests include helping children, adolescents, and young adults navigate interpersonal difficulties, behavioral concerns, anxiety, depression, learning challenges, and ADHD. Additionally, I have extensive experience conducting psychological and psychoeducational evaluations to identify learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and mood and behavioral disorders.

 

I firmly believe that children and adolescents thrive when they receive support from compassionate and engaged adults. With this in mind, I take a collaborative approach to therapy and assessment, working closely with parents, educators, and other professionals to develop effective, individualized treatment plans. Strengthening the parent-child relationship and creating a supportive therapeutic environment are at the heart of my practice, as I believe that a strong clinician-client connection is key to fostering meaningful growth and resilience.

 

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support your child’s development and well-being!
