Jenn Crawford Therapy and Coaching 3333 Northeast Sandy Boulevard, Portland, OR 97232

"Jenn has been my coach through big life transitions over the past two decades. She is a steady presence, keeping an eye on the horizon of my potential, yet remaining present to what I'm experiencing and trying to figure out on that day. She acknowledges many parts to a situation, while opening up possibilities that I hadn't thought of before. I trust Jenn because of her capacity to work with whatever I bring to our sessions, which allows me to get the root of what's in my way faster. As a result, my perspective shifts, my path clears and I come away knowing not only my next step, but often how to add just a bit of humor and even joy to the process. I'm going through a big life transition now. I can't imagine how I would do this without Jenn's skillful coaching. Our sessions are touchstones in the fray and I'm very grateful."

"Jenn Crawford has been my mentor for a couple of years. I am a newer manager and have had a huge amount of change and challenging personnel issues come up in the time I’ve been in this leadership role. Throughout all of it, I found myself feeling uncertain, uncomfortable, and even lost at times without a lot of direct guidance. Having Jenn as my manager mentor has made all of this feel do-able. She has helped me maintain focus, figure out the right path forward, develop and fine-tune my manager instinct, and gain confidence through it all. When I have been full of doubt or been feeling particularly hard on myself, Jenn has been able to, not just pull me out of those grumpy moments, but rather support me in pulling myself out of them. To me, that’s the mark of a truly skilled mentor. Jenn doesn’t do things for me, or tell me how to feel. She has created a dynamic that allows me to walk through those moments myself, with her as support and as an advocate. I firmly believe that Jenn’s influence has made me a better manager for my team, as well as a more compassionate person towards myself. Jenn has helped me build the skills and tools I need to handle challenging management situations with skill and care. She is encouraging, kind, very smart, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. I always feel safe and heard when speaking with her. I would recommend Jenn as a mentor and coach to anyone who feels a little uncertain at times or who wants to learn how to approach their day-to-day work and life with confidence, joy, and compassion."
