It's my job is to walk beside the client at their pace in order to see their world. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach in therapy means clients not only uncover insights about themselves but they also learn about changes needed to reach their desired goals. My clients leave with numerous tools to utilize throughout their lives. People are inspiring creations to me, I love working with people, regardless of their issues, and believe each of us has the power to shape our own future into whatever we desire. Personalized solutions are critical for the success of each individual, couple and family.

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS Let me assist you on your therapeutic and healing journey. I can help with finding your pathway to freedom in expression and helping to resolve patterns that keep us from living the life we deserve and desire. I am a person centered therapist that pulls from many different approaches to meet you where you need to be met. I do believe that the relationship we create in therapy is the foundation for all transformation that will occur. I would feel very privileged to be witness and hold the space for your healing. I look forward to speaking to you soon.

We all experience distressing emotions and are faced with challenging times in our lives. Sometimes additional support is needed because these experiences can be overwhelming and too much to handle on our own. Sharing your thoughts, feelings, and personal experiences can feel uncomfortable. This is why it is so important to me to provide a safe and caring environment for clients to feel understood and respected. It is my primary goal to build trust and provide support to my clients.

I consider it my privilege to join individuals and families on their journeys towards wellness! My approach is supportive, collaborative, and often emphasizes development of skills and enhancement of already-present skills (e.g., coping, conflict resolution, parenting). I consider humor an essential ingredient! I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, in a variety of settings such as outpatient, inpatient, and residential, and have prior experience in CPS and adoption services.

As a dual diagnosis/co-occurring psychotherapist, (licensed mental health counselor and licensed substance use disorder professional) my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges. By applying specific therapeutic approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life and incorporate healthy coping skills.

My Counseling Approach is based on a professional, honest, and consistent relationship with my clients. Through Cognitive Therapy clients will learn how to develop coping skills to live and enjoy a better quality of life. Clients will also learn how to accept and embrace life's turning points and become empowered to lead a more positive and productive life.

When everything falls apart you are not alone. Often reaching out for help can be the first step in renewing, replenishing, and revitalizing your life. Psychotherapy is one way to gain the strength and support you need. Many of us suffer quietly with feelings of hopelessness and loss. Therapy can bring life back into focus and helps us regain our sense of balance.

Most of my clinical career has been serving juvenile justice involved, incarcerated youthful offenders with significant mental health needs. I am able to quickly build relationships and begin working towards change. I recognize that when a person is seeking help it isn't their best day or period of time in their life. No matter your history or what you may have to share, I am ready to assist. I will treat you with the utmost of respect and in a confidential manner. My goal is to always send you out the door feeling better than when you came in.

Listening with empathy and skillfully applying proven therapies, I help you with relationship distress and personal challenges. I'm experienced with concerns of mind, body and spirit that contribute to anxiety, depression, mood and relationship issues. Working with couples to create satisfying marriages of growth and transformation is one of my passions. I also enjoy working with singles adults to create a healthy future. I write to reach the people I'm not able to meet in person. Sign up on my website, jennyteg.com for the keys to activate change in your life & your relationship.

Many couples want to communicate better, and at the core, partners want to feel emotionally connected to each other. Oftentimes, the negative interaction cycles of blame-withdraw, attack-defend, demand-withdraw are actually the indicators for the loss of emotional disconnection between partners. By identifying the cycle, couples can become more open to and engaged with each other, can create new emotionally attuned connections, and can revitalize their relationship. Attention to the couples sexual relationship is interwoven throughout the couples therapy. Visit my website to connect with me more.

My name is Stephanie Allen. I specialize in Seniors and Trauma Therapy. I am skilled to work with all kinds of trauma, abuse, chronic pain, and life/stress issues. I also supervise interns and license seeking social workers. I like to work with adult clients from ages 21 and up. I have an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of all families resulting from chemical dependency, mental illness, domestic violence and veteran’s issues. I believe the client is the best authority on his or her healing process and operates on the premise that the body/mind is always moving toward healing.

You would do anything for your children, but far too often they seems out of control. Sometimes you secretly worry that you don't have the right tools to help them grow into stable, healthy and happy adults. You wish you could better understand their intense emotions. Whenever you try to reach them, it turns into the same old fight. It's frustrating to see them continue to act in the same way. You are ready to see the joy return to your child's eyes. You want to feel in control again.

I offer compassion, understanding, and therapeutic guidance through life’s challenges. Throughout life we do the best we can to try to feel better. Unfortunately, ways we have learned to cope or numb pain often lead to confusion, disappointment, and disconnection. Using Internal Family Systems Therapy I facilitate a process of you gaining insight into your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors so you can understand yourself better and begin to release and manage inner turmoil (anxiety and depression). This process can lead to an improved sense of calm, clarity, self-compassion, and connection with others.

I work with clients from age 12 to age 65. I prefer to work with one client at a time, but see two clients occasionally (parent/child or partners). I can accommodate three, but I am not a family therapist. I am a good listener, and am direct with questions.

My Counseling Approach: Motivational techniques by truth and honesty. Be empowered from life lessons. Strive balance in life for peace and harmony. And create life goals to keep moving forward toward a positive direction.

I believe that we all have things in life that we need help dealing with or working through. As a counselor I provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental place for people to get the help they are seeking. I use several therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, solution focused and emotional focused therapy to name a few. When working with couples I use the Gottman marriage approach as well as attachment therapy. I may explore with the client their past and present in order to promote self-discovery/awareness that will assist them with the outcome they desire.

I work with clients who know something needs to change but they don't know how. They are good people who feel stuck doing the same things over without positive results or people who just want to stop hurting someone they love - individuals, couples adolescents and families. Often my clients have been victims of a traumatic experience. My clients are motivated, willing to try new things, and they want to feel better and improve their relationships with other people. They often have a secret fear that their problems are insurmountable, or the hurt from their past can never be overcome. My clients get results.

I take an approach to patient care that can be characterized by empathy, warmth, compassion, and flexibility to the experiences and backgrounds of others. I consider the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of each patient's issues. I help others not only identify patterns of behavior that are maladaptive to life but also teach tools and skills to help others change and grow.
