New to Grow
I am Jeneifer Threadcraft, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the CEO of Positive Peering, Inc., with over 18 years of experience specializing in trauma and suicide prevention. My practice is dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and families navigate life’s most difficult moments by uncovering their innate strengths and building lasting resilience. Through a blend of evidence-based clinical techniques and a compassionate, faith-integrated approach, I empower my clients to overcome the past and achieve a balanced, purposeful future.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will focus on creating a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard and understood without judgment. We will begin by discussing what brought you to therapy and identifying your most pressing concerns, allowing us to build a foundation of trust and mutual respect. My goal for this initial meeting is to gather a holistic view of your history and strengths so we can begin outlining a personalized roadmap toward healing and stability. You can expect to leave this session with a clearer sense of how we will work together and a renewed hope for the journey ahead.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength lies in my holistic and integrative approach, which bridges the gap between clinical evidence-based practice and deep spiritual resilience. With over two decades of experience, I am uniquely positioned to handle high-acuity cases—such as suicide prevention and complex trauma—with a level of calm and expert precision that fosters immediate safety. I don't just treat symptoms; I specialize in helping clients uncover their innate "design for greatness," transforming the way they view their identity and their future. The results of my work are seen in the restoration of the family unit and the empowerment of youth who move from being driven by past triggers to living with conscious self-awareness. By combining the structure of TF-CBT and REBT with the grounding power of mindfulness and faith, I provide a multifaceted toolkit that allows for truly personalized healing. Clients often describe my approach as a balance of fierce advocacy and compassionate listening, ensuring they feel both protected and empowered to change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to serve children, adolescents, and families who are navigating the heavy aftermath of trauma, loss, or complex emotional crises. My ideal clients are those seeking a path out of hopelessness, particularly those dealing with suicidal ideation, the impact of violence, or deep-seated anxiety that stems from their past. Whether you are a parent looking for stability for your child or an individual ready to challenge self-defeating beliefs, I provide a safe, culturally sensitive space to facilitate that transformation. My practice is a fit for those who value a holistic approach—clients who are looking to integrate clinical evidence-based strategies with spiritual or faith-based resilience. I work most effectively with individuals who are ready to move from being "survivors" to becoming "thrivers," focusing on goals of emotional regulation, restored family dynamics, and a renewed sense of purpose. If you are seeking a partner to help you uncover your strengths and reclaim your narrative, I am here to support that journey.
