You may find yourself here because:
✓ The coping tools you’ve tried before don’t work anymore (or never did).
✓ You’re tired of white-knuckling your way through life.
✓ You feel like you’ve been carrying something heavy for way too long.
✓ You feel held back by your own negative beliefs (something’s wrong with me, I’m broken, I’m out of control), but don’t know how to make them stop.
✓ You are ready to do the work to see real, meaningful change and start to enjoy your life and your relationships.
MEET YOUR THERAPIST
I’m Jennifer, and I’d love to help.
When we work together, you won’t stay “stuck” in therapy. I am intentional about the way we use our time, in order to best serve your needs.
My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, believed, and accepted… and never judged.
You matter.
You belong here.
You are welcome here.
I may be the right therapist for you if…
-
I consider it an honor to support you.
My mission is to create a space where you feel safe to be you.
-
My practice is open to people of all walks of life & all identities. This is an LGBTQ-allied & safe space.
-
…though you can always come back if you need it.
However, it is my goal to help you develop skills - like how to handle negative emotions, communicate your needs, and cope with stress - so that you don’t have to depend on therapy forever.

What makes me qualified to support you?
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
JBCounseling opened its doors on March 1, 2024, with a commitment to providing personalized care for every client. I draw from 10+ years of experience in the mental health field.
Before starting my practice, I worked in community mental health on a F.A.C.T. team (Florida Assertive Community Treatment), helping individuals with severe mental illness stay stable and out of the hospital.
I later transitioned into the substance abuse department, supporting clients with co-occurring disorders through IOP (Intensive Outpatient Programs), support groups, and adolescent programs. I’ve also worked in several residential treatment facilities and outpatient settings.

Imagine how good it would feel to:
Let go of negative beliefs about yourself, so they no longer rule your life
Take time for your needs, your hobbies, your life - without the guilt about making space for yourself
Figure out what you actually want - not just what you think your life should look like
Feel like yourself again & move forward with confidence
Shift from anxious & overwhelmed, to more confident, in control, and at peace
I would love to help you get you there.
