Jennifer Saul

Jennifer Saul

Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • Kenosha, WI


Clients working with Jenna Saul, MD can expect a clinician who sees the whole person in context. From her psychiatry career, she knows "nature vs. nurture" is one continuum—life events shape us from community to DNA. She focuses on strengths after adversity, helping clients act authentically, true to who they are, not emotions. Avoiding "resilience" (events change us permanently), she sees us as malleable: a chink in armor becomes strength. Dr. Saul tunes into language's power to free or trap us.

Welcome. I am a dedicated mental health professional with extensive experience supporting both children and adults. I primarily work with individuals struggling with sadness, guilt, loss, loneliness, panic, overthinking, shame, ruminating thoughts, family issues, trauma, and worry. Having worked as a Grief Counselor in my previous role, I helped individuals navigate life while adjusting to their grief by sitting with people as they share their deepest thoughts and emotions. I offer an inclusive space where clients can feel safe, respected, and seen.

It's a unique and challenging time to be a human! As an AuDHD and lesbian-identified therapist, I know that representation matters, even in therapy. I primarily work with autistic women, ADHDers, and members of the LGBTQ+ community to support them navigating issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, relationship concerns, burnout, executive dysfunction, and processing a late diagnosis.
