I am dedicated to providing therapy services that are based in trust and respect.

In addition, I provide couples therapy and family therapy . I also have extensive experience working with the IDD population. My approach to therapy is to first create a safe place where clients feel free to express themselves fully. After goals are identified I utilize an eclectic approach, which includes feedback from clients to develop meaningful and useful strategies.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I obtained my B.A. in psychology from Southern Illinois University. My interest in male/female relationships led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University. But I don’t only work with families. Families are comprised of two individuals who were reared in his/her family of origin from which they developed their worldview and values. Two unique individuals come together, bringing their experiences with them into the relationship. These differences can result in conflict. My job is to help them see how the conflict arose and constructive ways to resolve

We do our best to create a welcoming and comfortable environment because sometimes the work can be difficult and uncomfortable. I invite all clients to bring anything that makes them more comfortable to do their work. If you’re not sure of what that is we can work together to find some of those comforts to help in your day to day life.

Are there new opportunities or possibilities you want to explore in your life and relationships?

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LPCC) and military veteran, my focus is to serve other military veterans and their families. Although serving the military community is my primary focus, I am certainly open and available to others seeking guidance and support. Whether you are dealing with the stress of a recent deployment, transitioning out of the military, having separation anxiety, communication/relationship issues, or dealing with PTSD, there is no need to navigate these life struggles on your own. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness and counseling can help.

I am a sole practitioner in private practice. My focus is on helping adults struggling with depression and anxiety, those who have a history of trauma, and those with relationship problems – whether it’s with friends, co-workers, family members or intimate partners. In addition to working on short-term symptom reduction, I rely on an in-depth approach. This type of therapy provides insight into the dynamics behind one’s emotions and behavior and can lead to greater self-confidence, self-acceptance and lasting change.

Seeking and building trust with a professional can be uncomfortable as you are putting your trust in a complete stranger. I hope to build a therapeutic relationship and help you find courage through gentle comfort and support, while offering tools to develop coping skills to create a safe environment. I am passionate about helping others, desire to re-instill hope in people's lives, and can attest to therapy being healing.

Your eldering can and should be vibrant and happy. For a long time, we believed development stopped when an individual entered adulthood. This is far from true. Not all the transitions of middle and later life are easy or welcome. No one has to feel depressed, alone, bored, isolated and forgotten. I support individuals, couples, families and caregivers as they navigate the important transitions of later life. Later life is a time of dynamic personal change and growth.

If you are at an intersection or wilderness in your life due to illness, conflict, grief, depression, vocational or family changes, personal or cultural change, and desire discernment and guidance for next steps, my goal is to accompany you with a compassionate presence. Our work together is to cultivate a deeper sense of peace and the ability to be a loving presence in your family and community. With over 30 years as a practitioner, my work is to be a compassionate listener and assist in finding what is most important for you at this time in your life as you tend your soul and attend to your responsibilities.

I'm Jen Stephenson, a practicing clinician since 2011. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families age 3-93. My most recent season working with individuals who have experienced trauma, as well as both teens and adults who identify as LGBTQIA+ has become my passion. I use an eclectic approach with elements of CBT, MI, ACT, and SFBT. I work well with clients of an array of backgrounds and find that a "curious approach" to life, and what is troubling you, has proven to be a great starting point for most people. I am fascinated with the human condition.
