BACKSTORY

Celebrating 20 Years! (2003-2023)

After years of struggling with unmet expectations in her interpersonal relationships (including involvement in a religious cult), Jen Guerriero entered therapy in the Spring of 2000. Inspired by her own progress, Jen enrolled in graduate school in the Fall of that same year with the goal of becoming a therapist herself.

In the 20+ years since that time, her boundaries course has been presented to thousands of college students and psychotherapy clients with dramatic results in as little as 3 months. The course has been updated and optimized over the years to help you establish emotional and intellectual freedom quickly and easily.
