The focus and strength of Cascade Pathways is to assist individuals struggling with any form of substance or behavioral addiction or abuse. We strive to have a non-institutionalized, respectful, caring relationship - supporting the change and goals that a client truly desires. Sessions usually are individualized and therapy oriented, but can include education about the neurobiology of addiction, recognizing denial mechanisms, coping with triggers and cravings, and deepening relapse prevention. Group offerings may include: Men's Group, Women's Group, Adolescent Recovery, DUII Treatment and Recovery as well as groups supporting those who utilize buprenorphine (Suboxone), or other forms of medication-assisted treatments.

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking to improve their relationships, gain support and encouragement in their parenting, discover personal empowerment, cultivate positive and healthy habits, and cope with anxiety, depression, and grief. I take a holistic approach, incorporating mind, body, and spirit into my work. If you are feeling overwhelmed, burnt-out, or discouraged, it can make a world of difference to have a space to share your struggles and to feel heard and understood.

Jenna is a relational and individual therapist who offers a client-centered approach to adults, families and couples. She views therapy as an opportunity to collaboratively explore the fundamental aspects of a person’s life. Jenna seeks to support clients as they explore their inner wisdom and resources, and to honor clients as the expert in their experience. In sessions, Jenna operates from an empowerment and trauma-informed lens. She utilizes a non-pathologizing integrated model that largely includes theories from narrative therapy, internal family systems (IFS) and emotion focused therapy (EFT).

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. I use my expertise to help you gain new perspective, identify and overcome barriers, cope with life transitions, cultivate self-compassion, and develop skills to create a life worth living. Together, we will find your strengths and bolster resilience. Providing warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative support is at the core of my practice. My areas of expertise include online therapy, treatment of depression, anxiety, adjusting to parenthood, relationship concerns, trauma, identity exploration, and multicultural concerns. I have extensive experience working with young adults.

Perhaps you are going through a rough patch and could use support and guidance, or perhaps you’ve struggled for many years and would like to see things differently, live things differently and are ready to “do therapy.” You are not broken. We each of us are inherently whole and in response to internalized messages and expected roles, or difficult situations and difficult histories, ill health, extreme stressors or trauma, our lives can feel broken. My passion is to help you feel more connected to yourself and the people you love and the world around you.

As a systems oriented psychotherapist, I believe that we are connected to and affected by those around us. Our families of origin, communities,cultures,workplaces and families of choice impact our lives and sense of self. Relationships and experiences we have had in the past influence who we are and how we relate to the world. To live with the greatest joy and productivity we must heal past relational traumas and bring to consciousness effects they have had in our lives. By doing so, we are free to make thoughtful choices about how we live our lives and relate to others.

Many people come to counseling unaware of what to expect. For many it is the unknown that is terrifying, or for others, confronting difficult patterns in their life. Whatever the case may be, know that whatever you have been dealing with, you have been doing the best that you can up until now. As you enter into therapy, know that the strengths that you have utilized up until this point are still important. We will build on these strengths together and identify what obstacles lie in your path. I come to this work with an open mind and with a diverse array of skills ready to meet you wherever you may be on your journey.

Everyone has unique and individual mental health needs and I enjoy taking on a collaborative approach to help clients work through their therapy goals in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help my clients restructure their erroneous beliefs and encourage cognitive flexibility and mindfulness. I welcome clients from all walks and stages of life and believe my clients are experts on themselves, offering invaluable insight into how they'd like to approach their needs and goals.

Anxiety and Depression can be side-effects of a substance abuse issue. Seeking help and admitting we have an addiction takes an act of extreme bravery and courage. Our society tells us if we are overcome by addiction, that we are weak willed and have character defects. However, I don't believe that. I believe every person is born with unique gifts that are innate to them, but are veiled when we are chasing our addiction. Together, through meditation, guided imagery and self-discovery we will quickly chart a course of recovery from whatever has got you hooked (food, drugs, alcohol, smoking, technology, etc)

My counseling approach is based on Existential philosophy. I encourage discussions pertaining to our existence in life, involving significant issues such as life’s meaning, freedom, responsibility and our inevitable death. Existential angst might be triggered by life changes or by facing relationships in our lives that change from better to worse, difficult political views, divergent ideals and beliefs. These could impact or may lead to trouble discussing with our loved ones or friends. Some have lost important people in life, and feel alone in our situations, just to share a few.

Therapy is personal and everyone has different needs for reaching their goals. To meet your needs, I take a collaborative approach, co-constructing solutions for the problems you are experiencing. I believe people are in a continuous state of change, and therapy is a great opportunity to actively shape that change. This should be an individualized experience, focusing on the next, unique stage of your life.

Therapy is an opportunity for one to learn new skills, manage specific struggles or a mental illness, and build upon strengths that lead toward a more satisfying and meaningful life. My therapy style is interpersonal in nature which means I rely on building a strong relationship with my clients as the main avenue of change. My areas of expertise include working with clients facing any of the following issues: depression, anxiety, relationship distress, eating/body image, sexual, career uncertainty, and identity (race, nationality, sexual orientation, (trans)gender, age, religion/spirituality).

The best way to reach me is via email, as opposed to phone. Thanks! - - - - - - - - - - - - - I find the greatest success working with clients who over-think and ruminate, feeding negative valuations of themselves and the world around them, and who struggle with accompanying forms of worry, anxiety, and perfectionism. In providing a safe, non-judgmental space in which to build rapport, and by utilizing a conversational style, clients often feel more comfortable opening up and addressing the issues bringing them to counseling.

When you're struggling or in emotional pain, it can be tough to know how to go about choosing a therapist. Not only must practical matters, such as insurance and convenience be considered, but you also need to know about the therapy method and the therapist's qualifications. What's even more elusive is choosing someone who feels just right to you.
