Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
At Kinetic Physical Therapy & Wellness, Dr. Jennifer Hodgson, PhD, LMFT, brings years of experience and a deep passion for mental health. She specializes in working with individuals and families of all ages, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, family dynamics, and life transitions.
Her journey in mental health began with a strong commitment to education and service. In 2005, Dr. Hodgson, alongside Dr. Angela Lamson, pioneered the creation of the first doctoral program in medical family therapy at East Carolina University (ECU). This groundbreaking program, which has been continuously accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education since 1992, helped set the standard for excellence in the field. Dr. Hodgson’s leadership and vision were key in shaping ECU’s human development and family science programs, impacting the training and future success of countless marriage and family therapists.
Dr. Hodgson’s approach to therapy is empathetic, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. She is committed to helping her clients build resilience, find solutions, and achieve emotional well-being. Dr. Hodgson accepts most major insurances, including Medicare, to ensure therapy is accessible to all.
When she’s not helping clients, Dr. Hodgson enjoys spending time with her family and two dogs, as well as engaging in weight training and cardio boxing. She’s also a fan of Cinnamon Indian Cuisine, one of her favorite local restaurants.
At Kinetic Physical Therapy & Wellness, we are excited to have Dr. Hodgson as part of our team. Through thick and thin, Dr. Hodgson is here to support you on your journey to healing and wellness.

“The doctors and staff are exceptional. In addition to regular strengthening, I was able to have aquatic therapy which I found very helpful. Dr. LaTanis Dickens took her time to determine what I needed for my rheumatoid arthritis and worked on those areas at each session. I highly recommend this business.“
