8. Dr. Jenn herself, however, didn't inherit the music gene.

"I am not at all musical. The only song I ever wrote was when I was 7 or 8 with my dad."

7. She loves the Piano Man.

"I love Billy Joel. I am a hardcore Billy Joel fan. I was just in DC for a concert. Billy Joel actually --- my parents with they won two Grammys in I think it was 1985, and he presented them. That was almost more exciting to me than them winning the Grammys. I got to meet him, there's a picture of me with crimped hair at Roy Orbison's Grammy party in 1985. I'm never starstruck but when I was 15 and met Billy Joel, I stammered."

I was a very high level athlete and by the time I retired I was training 50 hours a week."

3. She was named after her dad's therapist.

1. Some of her favorite patients are the rappers and musicians who have appeared on Couples Therapy.

"I really dig working with my rappers. They usually come in and they've never had therapy, they're like, 'What is this s---? I don't want to do this!' and then at the end they're like 'This was the most amazing experience of my life!' I love that. I love DMX crying in my arms. He still says it was one of the greatest things that he ever did and I love that."
