Jenny Raterman, Ph.D., AMFT

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

Jenny (she/her) is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #150646) working under the supervision of Molly McCobb, LCSW (CA LCSW 98584). Jenny received a Bachelor of Arts from Kenyon College and a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Rutgers University. After a decade of teaching high school language arts, Jenny opted to make a career transition and earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute.

While training as a counselor, Jenny worked as a Wellness intern for SFUSD, complementing her long experience in independent schools and strengthening her commitment to promoting youth mental health across settings. Her clinical approach emphasizes skill building in a personalized, relational context, and she believes that the deep acceptance and care of the therapist-client relationship offers unique opportunities for youth and families to heal painful patterns and grow towards their full potential. Jenny sees therapy as a creative collaboration and seeks, above all, to foster authentic connection and understanding.

Outside of work, Jenny enjoys an ever-expanding array of fiber arts, so far including knitting, weaving, natural dyeing, and basketry. She is also very enthusiastic about collages, audiobooks, and strenuous walks through San Francisco’s foggiest neighborhoods.
