JENNIFER NAVA, LMFT

Jennifer Nava, LMFT, specializes in delivering critical incident stress management (CISM) and mental health clinician services to support federal workforce resilience. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, she provides trauma-informed, evidence-based interventions tailored to high-stress environments, including crisis response, peer support coordination, and psychological first aid. Her technical expertise centers on behavioral health triage, debriefing protocols, and long-term mental health continuity planning for employees exposed to critical incidents, with a focus on maintaining operational readiness through proactive psychological wellness strategies. Her approach emphasizes confidentiality, cultural competence, and alignment with federal employee assistance program (EAP) standards, setting her apart as a trusted provider of frontline mental health support in mission-critical settings. She maintains a consistent partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, delivering CISM services under long-term call orders and blanket purchase agreements. Her work supports USDA personnel across field operations, emergency response teams, and administrative units requiring immediate and sustained mental health intervention following traumatic events. This recurring engagement reflects a deep institutional trust in her ability to scale services under dynamic operational demands while adhering to federal compliance frameworks. Her primary industry focus is within NAICS 621330, representing private mental health practice services for non-physician clinicians. She operates within the federal behavioral health vertical, specifically serving agencies with large, geographically dispersed workforces exposed to high-risk or emotionally taxing duties. Her market positioning is defined by niche specialization in crisis response mental health, distinguishing her from generalist EAP providers. As a Women-Owned Small Business and Woman-Owned Business certified provider based in Folsom, California, she operates as an individual practitioner with a lean, agile structure optimized for responsive federal contracting. Her certifications enhance her eligibility for set-aside opportunities and reflect a commitment to diversity in government service delivery.
