Jennifer W Kates currently has a waitlist for new clients.
About
I have worked as a Hospice Social Worker, an outpatient therapist for Pine Rest, and as a therapist treating adults with major mental health disorders with two Community Mental Health organizations. I have experience treating a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, sleep issues, compulsive behaviors, bipolar disorder, relationship and marital issues, grief and loss, domestic violence, stress, post-traumatic stress, trauma, anger management, and women's issues. I currently have immediate openings and no waiting list.
I believe in a holistic approach to address issues. I use my training in DBT to teach mindfulness, coping, and distress tolerance skills. I help clients identify thought and behavior patterns that might be barriers to healthy relationships and life goals.
I have been married for 36 years, have three grown children, and am an adoptive mother and grandmother. I am comfortable working with people from all backgrounds and faiths and seek to serve a diverse clientele. I am the kind, accepting, knowledgeable therapist you are looking for. I look forward to your call.
