Jennifer Bayer, Ph.D.

My professional life took many turns before I found my way to clinical psychology. Like many others, I walked a variety of paths, for a variety of reasons, before finally pursing my passion. I completed Bastyr’s unique program that combines nutrition and clinical health psychology and then went on the University of Iowa where I earned a Doctor of Philosophy from the Psychological and Brain Sciences department, with an emphasis in Clinical Health Psychology. I have seen clients for over a decade and I have worked with people from all walks of life: people living in the community, students in college, Veterans, adults exploring their gender identity, and people struggling with acute and chronic health conditions, such as cancer, HIV and AIDS, diabetes, chronic pain, obesity, and nicotine dependence.
