Jennifer Kokes
Counselor, MA, LPCC
Starting therapy can be scary or intimidating for anyone. I'm a therapist with a positive, energetic, and casual style. Together, we go at your pace to find "whys" behind your symptoms and develop real-world strategies for change. The great thing about therapy is that everyone is different, and if talking doesn't work for you, play, sandtray, art, or something else will!. While I'm not currently accepting new clients, Summer Counseling has openings for children and adults for in-person or telehealth appointments and I'm happy to introduce you to one of our excellent therapists to help with your mental health needs.
I have over 10 years of experience working with clients in a variety of settings. I can help with emotional regulation and organization/focus for ADHD, social skills for children on the Autism Spectrum, trauma processing, anxiety, depression, behavior issues, and anger. I work with adults who struggle with self worth, communication, and emotional regulation.
I have a flexible and eclectic approach to treatment, including play therapy, sand tray, CBT, ACT, family systems, and more. I have developed a specialized 'niche' of twice exceptional children-kids who are identified as gifted and also have a diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, learning disorders or emotional challenges. Thanks for choosing Summer Counseling!
