I am passionate about what I do because I know people CAN change! I have repeatedly witnessed how people do fulfill their potential through our work together.

Jeri Mentor, LPC, LCADC, NCC Life can be challenging. Sometimes it does not go the way we plan it and other times changes occur leaving us to feel helpless, hopeless and disempowering. However, seeking help is empowering. Whether you are experiencing depressive symptoms, substance use, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, ADD, or just feeling stuck; you have made the right decision to end the cycle. By ending the cycle, you will find you, your identity and your purpose. My goal in therapy is to establish a rapport and connect with you. Once established, it will be easier to identify triggers that led to these symptoms.

Life is good, but it sometimes can be more difficult than it has to be. If you are feeling like it is more challenging to get through the day due to anxiety, depression, grief, or poor relationships with yourself or others....let me help. I am fortunate to work with amazing people who have found themselves dealing with tough life circumstances/mental health issues and have come to me to find a better path and have succeeded. It is my goal to individualize treatment so that joy in life and a positive mindset can be achieved.

I approach my work with sensitivity and in response to the needs presented by the individual or family.

I believe a non-judgemental approach in practice helps to support individuals as they take a new approach to old and new challenges.
