Meet Emotesy

Hi I'm Jennifer Daffon, the Clinical Director at Emotesy.  I'm a licensed mental health counselor with my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology.  I started working with children 14 years ago and haven't looked back! Incorporating elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, Client Centered and Solution Focused therapy, I enjoy helping kids and their families learn new skills to manage the ups and downs of daily life and school.

I am a Licensed Social Worker Associate-Independent Clinical (LSWAIC) with significant experience in play therapy. I believe in offering my clients creative, evidence-based approaches to promote healing and resilience. I support my clients in developing the tools they need to navigate their unique challenges by utilizing techniques from play therapy, sand tray, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I am a Licensed Social Worker, who works to create an environment where trust is developed and clients feel safe. I view therapy as a collaborative process between myself and those that I work with. When we work together, I will provide you the opportunity to explore and design a plan to make the desired changes in your life and help you achieve your goals.  To assist my clients, I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, solution focused, attachment theory, psychodynamic and narrative therapy.
