About Jennifer McFarlin

Jennifer McFarlin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people repair relationships with themselves and others. With a Master of Education in Counselor Education and a Specialist in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Florida in 2012, she brings years of clinical training and hands-on experience to her work. Early in her career she completed registered intern hours at a mental health hospital, supporting patients with severe mental illness, and later served as a Primary Therapist at an eating disorder treatment center where she treated disordered eating and co-occurring depression, anxiety, and OCD while providing individual, group, and family therapy.

Since 2020 she has operated a private practice centered on relationship dynamics and attachment styles, and in 2024 she earned certification in Integrated Attachment Theory. In individual, couples, and family work she explores the core wounds behind attachment patterns and guides clients toward more secure connection and improved relationship functioning. She consistently evaluates how beliefs formed within each person’s family of origin influence current behaviors and symptoms, using a systemic lens to address both coping skills and the deeper belief systems that sustain difficulties.

Jennifer aims to help clients leave therapy in a stronger place than where they began, partnering with them to build healthier relationships and more resilient ways of relating to themselves and others.
