Jennifer Keilholtz, LCPC, LPC

I offer acceptance and a straightforward, empathetic approach to psychotherapy with my clients. My clinical interests consist of working with clients through infidelity, pornography addiction, desire discrepancies, and survivors of sexual trauma. I work with individuals and couples of all sexual orientations, gender expressions, and cultural backgrounds. 

I was drawn to the helping field after a deep exploration of human sexuality and its impact on how we connect with one another and what we seek from others. We each have had experiences influenced by our culture, education, gender, religion, and countless other factors that have shaped our understanding of our own sexuality. It was the lack of social conversations and acceptance of varying ideas of what sexuality is and can be that led me to what has become my passion — helping others find acceptance, tolerance, and beauty in themselves and the lucky individuals they choose to have in their lives.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology, I attended and obtained a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hood College. While studying, I worked with individuals and groups struggling with sexual trauma, infidelity, pornography addiction, and compulsive sexual behavior. During this time, I worked closely with my supervisors and colleagues using an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach. I have also trained in intensive workshop settings at the Gestalt Center of Psychotherapy and Training in New York City. 

Educating future therapists in couples and sex therapy is a passion of mine. I am an adjunct professor at Hood College where I teach a master’s level course, “Intro to Sexual Wellness in Counseling.”  

I am a licensed clinician in both Washington, DC (PRC200001615) and Maryland (LC12629). Our work in understanding the breadth of experiences our clients have had and continue to have sexually never ends. I continue to pursue and consume all things sexual and relationship health to better serve my clients and this community.
