Jenna Marklevits, MA

My approach to therapy includes exploring how life experiences, associated beliefs, and ongoing thought patterns have contributed to clients feeling “stuck” or disconnected from growth and fulfillment. Using my own values of empathy and authenticity, I strive to meet individuals where they are in their personal journeys through a non-judgmental lens. We will collaborate to identify values and goals, emphasize factors that get in the way, and balance acceptance with meaningful change. My goal is to utilize a DBT framework to assist you in developing greater self-awareness, navigate intense emotions, and improve interpersonal relationships to create a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

ACP’s DBT program adheres to the Linehan model of DBT, is certified by MN DHS. Our clients meet with their individual therapist for one hour a week and attend a two-hour weekly skills group for at least 26 weeks. Unlike traditional group psychotherapy which focuses on processing experiences and feelings, DBT groups focus on learning four sets of important skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is a very effective treatment for multiple conditions including borderline personality disorder, depression, PTSD, impulsivity, eating disorders, and some forms of anxiety.

Telehealth Services

To expand and improve our care options for clients, ACP offers Telehealth (phone or video) appointments. Telehealth uses phone or video conferencing to connect you with highly qualified and experienced providers in real-time from the comfort and convenience of your own home or office. Before your telehealth appointment, you will receive details for how you will connect with your provider. If you will be connecting via phone, the provider will plan to call you at your scheduled appointment time. Please be ready to take the call and also check that your phone allows calls from blocked numbers (accessible within your phone settings). If you will be connecting via video conference, your provider will email you an invite to join the appointment. Please call our office to learn more about ACP’s telehealth services and to schedule an appointment.
