Jennifer Gardiner
Hello, my name is Jennifer. I am currently working with clients needing individual therapy. I have experience dealing with various issues. My past experience includes but is not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. I focus on client centered goals to help you achieve what you are looking for. Together, we can work towards finding the best possible way for you to better your situation.
I have worked with people suffering from anxiety, depression, abuse, bipolar, PTSD or trauma, grief, attachment issues, life transitions, and lack of coping skills.
Whether you're dealing with a specific problem or ongoing issues, I'm here to help. In focusing on what you want and need, this allows you to take control of your therapy and use this time to heal and grow. Deciding on therapy is a great step towards working towards your needs. Some of the modalities I have experience in are, but not limited to, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused therapy, trauma informed care, and providing psychoeducation. I look forward to meeting you.
First session
Our first session will be an intake session focused on understanding why you are seeking therapy and getting information on psychosocial stressors affecting you. Each session after will focus on goals and/or any current crisis.
Strengths
I have worked in various settings and various levels of acuity. I have supported people individually and in group settings. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, acute hospitals, and certified to assess for psychiatric hospitalization. I have worked with people suffering from anxiety, depression, abuse, bipolar, PTSD or trauma, grief, attachment issues, life transitions, and lack of coping skills.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients 18 years and above who are focused on finding solutions to improve their quality of life. My client's are individuals who want to understand why things are happening and ways to manage these issues.
Treatment methods
Psychoeducation
It is important for clients to understand their psychological problems and how to properly manage them.
Psychodynamic
This technique is utilized often with clients to understand how the subconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories are affecting their current behavior. This will promote positive coping and achieving therapeutic goals.
Trauma Informed Care
I have had training and experience treating and educating clients with a history of trauma. Understanding the cause and effects of past trauma can assist in improving quality of life and reducing symptoms.
