Does life challenges come at you so hard that it throws you off balance? Well, you are not alone and self-care in the form of therapy can help you regain stability. Hello, I am Ms. Prudence Jenkins a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California and Texas. As a therapist with more than 25 years of counseling experience, my focus after the first session, my goal is to help the client achieve a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them in an emotionally safe place. My specialized knowledge and experience working with military-related issues such as trauma, deployment, isolation, transitioning, and other military-related stressors have given me insight into the challenges our military families experience. I am also experienced in providing trauma-informed therapy to victims of sexual assault, at-risk juveniles, and substance use. I work intensively with clients by offering treatment related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, child abuse, behavioral problems, and bipolar disorder. Additionally, I am trained in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, Parenting for Incarcerated Individuals, and Crisis Intervention. My therapeutic approach is implemented in an emotionally safe place with a warm and genuine demeanor while considering a holistic, integrative, and strength-based approach committed to treating clients and helping them achieve their goals. I obtained my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work from San Diego State University.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session client will feel safe and heard. My therapeutic approach will allow the client to trust my clinical judgement and understand how treatment can aide in the client achieving their treatment goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
