JuniperJuniper
Juniper Psychological Services was founded in 2018 by Dr. Christy Blevins and Dr. Genevieve Pruneau with a
vision to provide psychological services from a scientific foundation, and with an approach of respect, warmth,
and collaboration to help clients make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. Christy and Genevieve met
in graduate school and became close friends while working together in a research lab. They each traveled the
country for their training and early careers as trauma specialists, and, after being charmed by Portland, decided
to build a private practice here. With a commitment to ongoing consultation and education, Juniper is
dedicated to providing inclusive, caring, and effective therapy practices. They welcome individuals from all backgrounds.
