LPC, 23 years of experience
Jennifer Enders, MA, NCC, LPC, LMHC (she/her) Licensed Professional Counselor (AZ & IA) Hi, I’m Jennifer. I create a compassionate, authentic space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported on your unique path to healing and growth. With over 23 years in mental health, I’ve worked across many settings—from psychiatric care to outpatient clinics—and now lead Beyond Wellness, where I offer personalized, trauma-informed therapy tailored to your strengths and needs. I specialize in helping adults and parents navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, trauma, self-worth, and relationship challenges. My approach blends evidence-based practices like CBT and mindfulness with holistic techniques, inviting you to slow down, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. Therapy with me is gentle and collaborative—a safe place where you can explore what matters most, cultivate self-compassion, and move toward a balanced, fulfilling life. I offer flexible telehealth services to adults in Arizona and Iowa, ready to support you wherever you are on your journey. Let’s take that first step toward your brighter future—together.
What to Expect in Your First Session In our first session, we’ll start by getting to know each other and answering any questions you have. This intake session is a chance to explore your history and the specific challenges you’re facing—only sharing what feels comfortable for you. We’ll review important details like treatment consents and privacy, and I’ll share my experience and credentials so you feel confident in your care. Together, we’ll begin crafting a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals. This session is also your opportunity to ask about the counseling process and what working together will look like. My hope is that you’ll leave feeling seen, heard, and ready to take the next steps toward healing and growth.
My Greatest Strengths I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported on your unique journey. Compassion and authenticity guide my approach, helping you feel comfortable and understood as we work together. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to assist and guide you toward your goals with practical tools and personalized strategies. I’m down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and a big fan of homework and resources that empower you between sessions. Together, we’ll build resilience and confidence to navigate life’s challenges and celebrate your strengths along the way.
My Ideal Clients Life can feel overwhelming, leaving you disconnected from yourself and unsure how to cope. If you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or navigating life transitions, you’re not alone—and I’m here to help. I work best with clients who want to feel truly seen and heard in a safe, non-judgmental space. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious, and eager to build new tools for managing everyday challenges. Together, we’ll gently explore your past wounds with trauma-informed care and focus on building resilience, confidence, and self-worth. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about creating a supportive space where you can reconnect with your authentic self, find joy in the small moments, and strengthen your ability to connect with others. If you’re ready to feel capable, confident, and more grounded, now is the perfect time to begin your journey.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a practical, evidence-based tool to help clients identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, stress, and negative self-image. With years of experience, I guide adults and parents to replace these thoughts with healthier, more balanced perspectives, empowering them to break cycles of overwhelm and build lasting emotional resilience. CBT becomes a roadmap for my clients to better understand their minds, develop coping skills, and create meaningful change in their lives.
I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and self-compassion. This approach teaches practical skills to observe thoughts and emotions without judgment, reducing stress and emotional overwhelm. By fostering greater calm and clarity, mindfulness supports healing from anxiety, burnout, and relational challenges—helping clients reconnect with themselves and respond to life’s difficulties with more balance and ease.
I use Motivational Interviewing to support clients in exploring their own values and goals, helping them find internal motivation for meaningful change. This collaborative, compassionate approach gently guides adults and parents through ambivalence or resistance, empowering them to take confident steps toward healing, growth, and healthier relationships.
I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a specialized approach designed to help clients safely process and heal from trauma. Using TF-CBT, I guide adults and parents through understanding their trauma responses, reshaping unhelpful beliefs, and developing coping skills to reduce distress. This evidence-based method fosters resilience and empowerment, helping clients reclaim their lives and build healthier relationships.
In my practice, I use Person-Centered Therapy to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and valued. This approach honors each person’s unique experience and inner wisdom, fostering self-acceptance and growth. By building a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and trust, I help adults and parents feel safe to explore their challenges and move toward healing and greater emotional well-being.
