*NOT accepting new clients until June.* My specialty is helping clients notice old patterns that keep them stuck. Once we accept & understand our experience, then we can work towards change. Most people may not realize the root cause of their constant worry, panic or sadness, that's why I'm here to help so we can both discover what's holding you back from feeling healthy. CBT, mindfulness, EMDR & psychodynamic therapy are approaches that can help us become aware of areas that keep us stuck. Healing our hurts opens us to new ways of thinking & responding to life, inviting us to notice possibilities rather than limitations.

My name is Jennie Freeland and I am a licensed mental health counselor who has been working with people from a variety of backgrounds to find their own unique answers for the past decade. Typically working with adolescents and young adults, I assist people who feel something in their life is changing, or needs to, and is ready to work through that transition.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice. I have a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. My training as a Marriage and Family Therapist provides me with the skill set to work with clients from a systemic perspective; exploring the multiple angles of a problem while at the same time discovering untapped strengths and resources for creating change. I have experience working with a variety of clients including children, adolescents, families and couples; all within many different stages of life. Areas of special interest include teens, young adults, and the military population.

A common phrase I hear is "I just feel stuck." The people who say that know there is something better out there, but they don't know how to move in that direction. My role is to help you better understand yourself and make the most of who you want to be. Many people reach out because their lives seem to lack meaning, they don't feel worthwhile, they find some challenges overwhelming, or they just don't seem to feel joy from their relationships or activities. That's where we begin the work.

My top priority is to provide a safe and nurturing counseling environment where my clients feel supported as they learn and grow. I blend several different counseling techniques together in a manner that fits each client's specific needs. Through careful listening and understanding, I guide my clients in examining their current and past attitudes, feelings, beliefs, thoughts, and choices and collaborate with each client to determine how these are affecting their day-to-day lives. Together, we create a plan to work through these issues, and I challenge and support my clients as they make positive choices and changes.

I have been in the psychology field for nearly two decades. Therapy is a process of sharing concerns, problems, ideas, questions and decisions. I will listen, share, question, challenge, confront and support you in coming to grips with the things that are troubling you. I am committed to providing the most effective and personalized therapy possible.I have experience treating clients in a variety of settings and socioeconomic circumstances across the state on Indiana. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds.

I enjoy working with persons from all different walks of life. I work with individual, couples, families, and children, but particularly feel a passion to work with persons who are struggling with new transitions in their life such as grief, trauma, divorce, and relationship conflicts. I have worked in community mental health with individuals, couples, children and families with various diagnosis such as ADHD, ODD, trauma, depression, anxiety, conduct issues, and school based related issues. I also enjoy diving into theological conversations leading to liberation, strengthening one's faith, and helping integrate faith, spirituality, and relational health for those interested.

I have extensive experience working with a wide range of families, couples, children and individuals. Using a variety of therapeutic methods, I work closely with my clients to increase self-awareness, confidence and feel empowered to make the necessary steps toward healthy communication and understanding of themselves and their family dynamics. As an ordained minister, I believe that faith and spirituality can be found in all aspects of one's life. For those interested, I can help explore how faith and spirituality has played a role in their life, family and relationships regardless of religious beliefs, traditions or affiliations.

My strength is working with children, adolescents and their families as well as with adults to help address any issues that are keeping them from functioning the way they would like to. My goal in working with others during treatment is provide them with insight to give them ability to make changes in their lives. Everyone already has the ability within them to live a fulfilling life and I enjoy helping them find the skills to do that.

My treatment approach is integrative in nature, which includes interpersonal and systemic interventions. I take an integrated, culturally informed, and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe that various contextual and environmental factors can contribute to clients' presentations and strives to help clients achieve a more congruent life.

*I am currently accepting new online clients throughout the state of Indiana.* I offer a warm approach to people of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, perinatal mood disorders (postpartum), life changes, stressors, trauma/ptsd, family issues, and other mental and emotional health concerns. Though I typically provide in person and walk-talk therapy, I am currently only offering telehealth services due to the pandemic.

(Currently not accepting new clients.) Do you find yourself overwhelmed, confused, & can't figure out why patterns keep repeating in your relationships? Do you feel as if anxiety, depression, have become your companions? Do you struggle with overwhelm, distress, exhaustion & self-doubt? Do you feel stuck, despite trying to move forward? I work with individuals who have complex needs. I am passionate about helping them identify & break unhealthy patterns, as well as understand why they occur. I offer a safe space to explore feelings & experiences by offering a tailored & integrative approach.

I deeply respect the courage it takes to seek counseling and I meet clients where they are, without judgment. My training is both biblically rooted and neuroscience based which allows me to connect with individuals at a heart and mind level. Many of my clients struggle with life trauma and disturbing events that result in depression, anxiety, and behaviors that create relational conflicts. I work with clients to uncover the core issues that underlie their struggles and help move them beyond coping to lasting and profound change.

I specialize in working with those with anxiety and depression. I also have a particular focus on family structure as appropriate. I focus on the well being of the client and their environment. I use a strength based approach to encourage personal growth.

To me, being a therapist is about helping you to achieve your maximum potential in mental health and happiness. Do you feel like you need someone with whom to talk, whether to help you sort out some confusing issues, or to listen and empathize with you? I feel honored to be able to do this work and help you achieve happiness and self-actualization, whatever that looks like ideally for you. There is help. There is a way to feel better.

I have always had a passion and a deep respect for humanity, for learning about others, for appreciating the differences and personal histories, and for discovering how individuals' values drive their own power to heal themselves. As a therapist, it is my privilege to be a mere facilitator of the discovery process. I look forward to aiding the change process in its many forms and in the time frame that you--the individual—desires and determines. With 15 years of experience in the field, I feel that I bring experience but also a fresh perspective of how to help.

I don't know what you need. You do. I also value you for your unique experiences in life. I'm just here to guide you to where you want to go. I'm not here to tell you what to go do with yourself, but I will challenge you. Without a little challenge in our life we go nowhere. Overall, though, I value you and each person that I sit with. I work hard to find your self inside those years of forcefields you put up. I see you for you. This is how I do counseling.

My passion is to help kids, teens and families feel more peace, joy and confidence in their lives again. I have helped children and adults since 2003 with specialized training in play therapy, family counseling, and addiction recovery as well as utilizing best evidence-based practices, including EMDR, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapies. Sometimes, we just need a safe place to express our feelings, stress, grief, insecurities and fears. Our kids need it. Our partners need it. We all need it sometimes. Let me help you rebuild connections and communication and find a better way to tackle this stage of life challenge.
