Aryn Jentz

Parents stretched thin by a child’s diagnosis, women quietly carrying the weight of lives that never quite slow down, teenagers navigating anxiety they can’t fully name — these are the people Aryn Jentz shows up for. An LCSW based in Glen Allen, Virginia, Aryn works with individuals and families across a wide range of concerns: trauma, anxiety, life transitions, parenting challenges including special needs, burnout, and the kind of overwhelm that follows people from morning to the moment they finally put their phone down at night.

Her approach draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, woven into a practice that is strengths-based and trauma-informed throughout. She works with teenagers and young adults, women, survivors of abuse, and those managing chronic illness, adjustment, or the particular grief of family changes like divorce or aging parents. Clients consistently encounter a style that is warm and collaborative, rooted in genuine respect for whatever they are carrying.

Aryn also brings lived experience to her work — as a sister and parent of a child with special needs, her understanding is both professional and personal. She offers virtual sessions designed to provide the same quality of care and connection as in-person work, with the flexibility of meeting from wherever feels right.
