LCSW, 30 years of experience
I’m Jennifer L. Rowe, MSW, LCSW, and founder of Journey Life Balance Inc. I believe transformation is possible — even in life’s hardest seasons. With over 30 years of experience, I offer flexible, supportive care for teens, college students, and adults throughout Connecticut. Whether you're navigating high school, finding your way through college, managing a life transition, or simply feeling stuck, I meet you where you are. Using an eclectic therapy style, I blend different approaches to fit your journey — because real healing isn't one-size-fits-all. Let's connect: jennifer@journeylifebalance.com or on Instagram @journeylifebalance.
My approach is warm and encouraging, grounded in humor, solution-focused strategies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (CBT).
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is helping you feel safe, seen, and supported while you explore what’s keeping you stuck — and how to move forward. My specialty is helping clients identify the areas of their lives where they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure, and then set clear, meaningful goals. I take a creative and personalized approach, using tools like vision boards, worksheets, journaling prompts, mantras, and articles that speak to your journey. We start with a simple but powerful question: If you had a magic wand, what would your ideal life look like? From there, we work together to bring that vision to life — one step, one goal, one breakthrough at a time. With over 30 years of experience, I bring both clinical expertise and a heart-centered mindset to help you create the kind of life that feels aligned, empowered, and truly yours.
You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or at a crossroads — ready for change but unsure where to start. You may be navigating the pressures of high school, the transitions of college life, or major life shifts you didn’t expect. You might be balancing the demands of caregiving, adjusting to a diagnosis, or simply facing a season of uncertainty. What you have in common with the clients I work with is this: You are more resilient than you realize. You’re brave enough to reach out for support, even when it feels hard. You’re ready to explore new ways of growing, healing, and moving forward — even if the path feels messy at times. You are not defined by your struggles; you are defined by your hope, your strength, and your willingness to keep going.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because I believe you already have the strength to create real change — sometimes you need the right tools and support to get there. CBT helps us take a closer look at the stories you tell yourself and gives you practical ways to rewrite them into something stronger, kinder, and more true to who you are becoming. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about making progress, one powerful step at a time.
I believe therapy should meet you where you are — not the other way around. That’s why I use an eclectic style, blending different techniques and approaches to fit your unique journey. Some days you might need tools and strategies; other days you might just need space to breathe, process, and be heard. No matter what, we’ll work together to create the kind of support that helps you grow, heal, and move forward with confidence.
