Thank you for your interest in how I work. I derive a lot of meaning and personal satisfaction from helping people live with greater peace, joy, and fulfillment. I work with adults of all ages, including couples. I assist people in clearing away unnecessary negative layers that get in the way of living a more fulfilling and enjoyable life. A lot of my clients struggle with everyday problems that affect many of us, but I specifically treat depression, anxiety, grief, and
trauma
, using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and a variety of approaches to talk therapy.

I am trained in Dialetical behavioral therapy (DBT), Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), client center therapy, family therapy,
trauma
,
PTSD
, addiction and women's empowerment.
I believe in creating a safe emotional space for healing and growth. I believe that growth and healing is within the client. I am here to help guide that growth through empowerment, various techniques and the bond that is established in the relationship. I believe that empathy, humor and honesty are essential to healing. Sometimes we feel blocked or held back in our life due to depression,
trauma
, relationship problems, limiting beliefs, or we just feel as though we are not achieving our full potential. I believe that not one technique works all the time and that a combination of various techniques is valuable.

I use a balance of evidenced-based modalities with soulcentric ways of moving through
trauma
and navigating the waters grief in my work.

PTSD
, self-worth, depression, anxiety, and difficult life transitions. I am dedicated to anti-oppression work both personally & professionally.

I believe that mindfully addressing your contextual ecosystem is essential in truly getting to the root of why you're suffering.

Many clients are confused and unsure where to begin on their path for change. Unresolved
trauma
, grief, guilt, abuse, negative memories, abandonment, betrayal by friends or family can create low self-esteem, unregulated emotions, relational issues, self-isolation, fear of trusting others or being hurt, loneliness, self-harm, feeling burdened by self, suicide ideation, addictive behavior to mask pain, depression, anxiety, co-dependency. I have often helped clients gain self-compassion, love, respect, clarity and confidence with the understanding it takes time and patience. I offer a warm, accepting approach in a pleasing safe space.
Jennifer Diethrich
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC
Verified
I have extensive training and experience in the Neurobiology of
Trauma
and Attachment, self-regulation and pre-adolescents/adolescent school and family related issues.
Many teens and adults struggle with relationships, emotional regulation, and depression. Negative thoughts and beliefs about self and the behaviors that follow can disrupt daily functioning and have a serious impact on self-esteem and problems at home, school, and work. Stress, life events, and emotional and mental health challenges can feel completely overwhelming. Life's challenges are hard to take on by yourself and I enjoy helping others move through their journey, discover their strengths, and reach their goals. I love partnering with my Registered Therapy Dog, Rio, and my horses for experiential learning and psychotherapy.
Maura R Nolan
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
The journey of life is filled with wonder, but it can also be completely overwhelming. We can feel consumed by our
trauma
and emotions, play out patterns of behavior over and over, and let our inner critic run wild. Sometimes it feels like we are just existing rather than fully living. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable with another person can be daunting. Whatever has brought you to therapy - I encourage you to come as you are. There is nothing I have not heard before. In turn, I promise my clients unconditional acceptance, genuine connection, and a therapeutic foundation built on trust as we embark on this brave journey together.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC

PTSD
is an inability to release
trauma
energy, and an unconscious rewriting of the stories of our lives.
My ideal client is frustrated, angry, in despair. Life hasn’t worked out the way it was supposed to. (S)he lost herself somewhere long ago, left herself behind. Relationships are hard; those recurring patterns and reactive behavior keep interfering with connection, and self-esteem, and contentment, and vitality, and... A malaise has settled, along with a darkness. This inevitably leads to anxiety, depression, isolation, addiction, and despair. My clients know there must be more. But, where to begin? How to start?

I believe in forming a strong and trusting relationship with my clients. I am known for my warmth, patience, curiosity, creativity and energy.

When you're ready to deal with
trauma
, you want to start as soon as possible. You've heard of
PTSD

trauma
. When the stress increases in your life, you notice higher anxiety and scarier thoughts. You want to let go of the abuse and
trauma
of the past. Maybe you've heard about EMDR, but you don't know where to start.
