Many challenges in life can feel like they are uniquely yours to bear alone; however, this is rarely the case. People visit me concerned about how they feel and function in key life and professional relationships. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families on a variety of overlapping issues such as anxiety and depression, self-esteem, parenting children with special needs, setting limits with adult children, work/life balance issues, and sexual desire issues in committed relationships. Often these issues can be helped by addressing the common denominator of individual development within a family or relationship system.

In journeying through your growth process, it's important that you select a therapist that you trust will meet you where you are, and hold space for you in a way that feels organic. I hope to offer you such. While I've been trained in many modalities, I'm 100% in support of eclectic therapy which rejects a "one-size-fits- all" approach. Therapy can mean something different to each person seeking support---and that's okay. Whether you're experiencing some form of stress or seeking balance in the midst of a life transition, together we can find a way to restore, rebuild or even newly create both understanding and solutions.

Concierge Therapeutic Care
MA, LPC, LCPC, MMQ
I approach most counseling issues from a perspective that most people are doing the best they can with what they believe and perceive. Hence, the context for most of our pain as human beings and our well being is found within the meanings we code our experiences with and the relationship spheres we foster. Therefore, above all the various strategies I may find the need to employ on behalf of my client, the most impactful of all of these is that of using the compassionate connection we build with each other as being a powerful catalyst to generate the flow of new possibility.

Jen Hackler, LCSW, SEP
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C, SEP
Verified
In a non-judgemental, respectful atmosphere I accompany people along their journey to living richer, more meaningful life. I encourage people to broaden their awareness into their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors to identify strengths and whats working and challenges and how they are getting in the way. Recognizing the the mind-body-spirit connection, understanding healthy and antiquated defenses and increasing capacity for feeling a greater range of emotions at a deeper level is an important focus of the psychotherapy process. Identifying feelings, understanding reactions and learning better, more effective means of communicating with others is integral as well.

My wait list is currently closed. I view the individual wholistically and focus the counseling goals on mental, physical and spiritual well being. In the beginning of the therapeutic process I will take the first few visits to gather information about the concerns you have, the area of your life that you would like to change and the goals you have for yourself. I will use certain assessment tools as appropriate including but not limited to the Adlerian Lifestyle Assessment and a family genogram. After our assessment has been completed in about three sessions, we will agree upon treatment goals for therapy.

In my practice, I work with a diverse clientele: children, adolescents and adults from all backgrounds. My approach is practical and conversational as we explore together the stressors of daily living, relationship concerns, parenting issues, and in some instances, severe psychiatric disorders. Often, clients seek short-term interventions, though for some difficulties therapy continues for an extended period.
