Jenna LaVallee
Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Masters of Social Work from the University of North Dakota on 2014 and have been practicing in different clinical setting since that time. I love being a therapist and walking with people through their own journey.
I have a long history of working with different populations which I believe gives me the ability to approach therapy in a very empathic and nonjudgmental way.
I take pride in learning and growing in my therapy practice and gaining knowledge in different modalities and with different populations. I believe my clients are the experts of their life and journey and I value the information you bring to our sessions.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then begin discussing your mental health history and treatment history, then eventually dive into the specific challenges that are brining you to therapy. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
I take a lot of pride in being a safe space for my clients to process any concerns they have. I enjoy feedback and taking my client's lead with treatment and therapy. I have a long history of working with different populations which I believe gives me the ability to approach therapy in a very empathic and nonjudgmental way.
Ideal clients
I have experience working with a wide variety of different individuals. I often work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma and have worked with a wide range of ages from adolescents to teens to adults and even seniors. I have experience working with clients who may be resistive to treatment (through court orders or family requiring treatment, etc.) and clients who are ready and willing to address their mental health concerns. I try to be adaptable and also belief that it is important to find a therapist you think is the best fit for you!
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I'm continuing to grow in my understanding and use of ACT. I enjoy helping my clients work through acceptance and connecting with their anxiety and other mental health concerns through ACT
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have taking several training and am certified in DBT. I love utilizing it's tools to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance to help my clients build resilience with things that may be causing distress in their lives and relationships.
Trauma-Informed Care
I continue to learn and train in trauma informed practices. I offer empathetic listening and believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives and situation and work to follow my clients needs based on their unique history.
Strength-Based
I love to build on the skills and strengths my clients already have. Focusing on the skills you already posses helps build resilience and builds on those positive qualities that are familiar to you.
