Jennifer Simpson - Therapist (LPC)
Crazy Genuine - Co-Founder & Therapist at Sanity Center
Jennifer is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s messier seasons. Her work spans hospital, residential, and outpatient settings, giving her a well-rounded understanding of mental health care across the lifespan.
As one of the co-founders of Sanity Center, Jennifer’s mission was clear from the start: to offer down-to-earth, high-quality counseling services to families on the West Side of Phoenix. She specializes in supporting teens, pre-teens, and young adults as they face the big questions of identity, autonomy, and emotional regulation. With younger children, Jennifer takes a family-centered approach—believing that early support works best when parents and caregivers are part of the process.
Jennifer is trained in trauma-focused care, EMDR, and parenting interventions, and brings a practical, no-nonsense style to her sessions. Clients often describe her as “genuine, grounded, and real”—the kind of therapist who just gets it.
A wife, mom of three, and member of a very large extended family, Jennifer doesn’t just talk about “the village”—she lives it. Her lived experience gives her a deep empathy for the exhaustion, humor, and heart that come with raising kids, navigating relationships, and trying to keep your head above water.
Whether you’re a parent at your wit’s end, a teen who feels misunderstood, or a young adult trying to figure it all out—Jennifer offers a steady hand, a listening ear, and a whole lot of heart.
