Hello, I'm Jeni! Thank you for taking a moment to read about my services. My practice specialty is supporting adults ages 18 and up with healing from trauma, depression and anxiety and supporting skill development to manage and/or prevent recurrence of symptoms. I use mainly a Cognitive Behavioral approach, focusing on how our thoughts affect our feelings, teaching coping skills and correcting maladaptive thinking patterns. I believe the relationship between therapist and client can be a healing one and can support growth of positive social and relational skills.
I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR) which is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively
researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of
standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment
approaches. To date, EMDR therapy has helped millions of people of all
ages relieve many types of psychological stress. It is useful for a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, social isolation, panic and many many more negative emotions and behaviors. EMDR essentially "unlocks" the negative memories, beliefs about the self and emotions stored in the nervous system, and helps the brain to successfully process the experience so it is no longer triggering in day to day life.
I have experience in and enjoy
working with most general mental health concerns. If you fall
outside my specialty range, but feel I might be a good fit, please feel free to
contact me and we can discuss it!
