You don't have to carry
this alone.

Jen Paluska is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State, focusing in betrayal trauma for partners of sex addiction, pornography use, and infidelity. She is an Associate Sexual Addiction Therapist Candidate (ASAT-C) through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP), and has advanced training in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model (MPTM) through Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS), the leading framework for treating partner betrayal trauma. She is also a Certified Spiritual Director trained with the Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica, bringing a dual lens of clinical and contemplative practice to her work.

Jen has been part of recovery communities since she was seventeen. She understands firsthand the importance of a therapist who knows this ground from both directions, and she works with partners whose family systems have been shaped by addiction for generations as well as those navigating a recent discovery. Her approach is integrative, somatic, and trauma-informed, paced to what each person's nervous system can actually hold.

Jen provides individual counseling and spiritual direction via telehealth across Washington State and in-person sessions in Vancouver, Washington. Her work is grounded in the belief that what partners experience is a legitimate trauma response, and that healing is possible.
