Dr. Jennifer Betancur is a licensed psychotherapist and published author with over 16 years of clinical experience. She earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida and a graduate degree in Clinical Social Work from Florida State University. Her early training included clinical rotations at the Veterans Affairs Bay Pines Medical Center in St. Petersburg, followed by a two-year internship in private practice, where she developed her client-centered and evidence-based approach.
Driven by a passion for deepening her understanding of human relationships and intimacy, Dr. Betancur went on to earn her Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology from the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. She is a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).
Dr. Betancur is also the author of Modern Child-Free Couples: A New Narrative on Life, Love, and Family, a book that explores identity, intimacy, and fulfillment among couples choosing to live child-free.
In her private practice, Dr. Betancur helps adults navigate a range of life experiences, including relationship challenges, intimacy and sexuality concerns, workplace stress, parenthood, anxiety, depression, and other transitions. Her work is grounded in compassion and guided by the belief that emotional well-being and authentic connection are essential at every stage of life.
As a first-generation Colombian-American who has lived in diverse international settings, Dr. Betancur brings a culturally sensitive and globally informed perspective to her clinical work. She believes that understanding the world — and the many ways people experience it — is central to effective and meaningful care.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on compassion, curiosity, and respect. Each session is an opportunity to reconnect with your authentic self, explore new perspectives, and create lasting, meaningful change.
