Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Yreka, CA

I work collaboratively with my clients to use their strengths to develop positive change in couple and family interactions, and in individuals' personal, social, educational, and employment lives. My work blends stress management, mindfulness, guided imagery, communication skills, anger management, family counseling, parenting skills, and trauma work. I have experience with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, medical stress and chronic pain, ACA/codependency, PTSD, and Panic DO. My work is neurologically based, client centered, and solution focused.

I work alongside the client (or clients), helping them to discover their deepest goals. These could be to attain their dream job, to make relationships flow, or to deepen their connection to their environment. This brings more joy and freedom into their daily lives and assists in removing obstacles along the path.

Are you ready to start treating your trauma and PTSD? Not sure where to start? I am here to help. If you struggle with sleeplessness, dreams of being back there, unable to get your brain to shut down and relax, feelings of shame, guilt, anger, and numbness.…you were not prepared for this. Having images pop into your head of that thing, those people, or that feeling. They may teach you how to do your job, but not how to deal with the fallout. You can be ok when you are with others who understand, but when you have to go home you may feel like you are alone or are not good enough for your family.

My name is Jennifer Butler, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of Southern California, working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults from diverse backgrounds and identifying cultures and specialize in the treatment of trauma, stress, anxiety, grief, and depression using Person (Client) Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. Because each individual is unique, my approach is catered to each individual client based on their needs.

There are times in our lives where life brings certain challenges. Troubled relationships, emotional difficulties, and mental health challenges make life more exhausting than it needs to be. If you feel that your life is chaotic, beyond your control, and that you're all alone, then seeking counseling may be the right path for you.

I have a passion for helping guide my client’s to happiness and wholeness, as well as meeting them where they currently are in life. I would love to come alongside you in your journey towards healing. I have a special interest in working with my community because I was born and raised in Shasta County and it is important to me to give back to the community I grew up in. I have experience working with kids, teens, and adults.

Life is full of changes, we can count on this! During these ever changing times and seasons in living, our lives can be thrown off balance! Counseling support provides a special ‘time out’ where you can identify your current needs and address current symptoms and issues in need of attention and change from a compassionate and caring therapist. During this season with on-going losses, as a Certified Grief Educator, integrating issues of loss and grief into your counseling session remains so important! We all grieve differently...having a safe-place to process your grief, to remember your loved one, is a special honor and privilege.

My collaborative approach is to uncover the solutions that will best promote healthy and authentic relationships, by increasing meaningful communication, reducing anxiety, and successfully navigating transitions. I work with individuals and couples, and within the dynamic of families and business systems, to build on and enhance strengths.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming. You may have plans to get through the clutter in your bedroom, but then you realize the dishes need to be done so you can access the sink. Perhaps you know you have the intelligence and skills to get through college, but the simple act of starting an assignment is so overwhelming that the pressure itself makes it feel impossible to begin. Or you have a deep desire to form relationships, but you don’t know where to start and always end up feeling like you’ve failed when you try. Maybe you have a job that doesn't suit you, or are unemployed and can’t seem to get past the interview process.

I use the principles of Positive Psychology and Mindfulness to teach techniques that increase awareness and ability to control attention so that you can experience happiness and not be a slave to compulsive thinking. You will learn and experience living in a way that frees energy that is being spent on habitual regrets of the past and worries of the future. I can guide you through loneliness, isolation, emotional pain, grief, relationship distress and trauma.

I have a background and passion for working with mothers in their perinatal years, women, children, and families ( I love working with a variety of individuals that are not limited to these groups listed). I approach therapy from a holistic approach and acknowledge that in order to heal to the highest potential- the mind, body, and spirit must work in sync with one another. My energy in the therapeutic relationship is authentic, compassionate, non-judgmental, open-minded, and empathic.
