(she/her)

LCSW, 4 years of experience
Direct
Open-minded

Hello, I’m Jenna and I’ve been in the field for four years and worked in various settings. I have worked in hospitals, various non profit and currently work as a supervisor at a community mental health agency as my full time job. My primary work is in DBT as I was a DBT IOP clinician for years. I am also able to provide supervision for LMSW’s as I am a supervisor.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will consist of intake paperwork that I am required to fill out for Grow. Once that is complete we will dive into what brings you into treatment and how I can help you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe my greatest strengths is that I am well versed in DBT and have the book memorized. I have worked in some difficult settings with significantly ill clients and have the ability to engage in complex cases. My other strengths is my empathy I am going to push you because I care about you but not to hurt you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone who is solution focused and wants support, feedback and skills to move forward. Someone who struggles either relationships and is motivated to work. I am also comfortable with clients who struggle with this but want to at least try. My ideal client is also ok to have a bad day and struggle with motivation. I feel like this is a tough question because there is no ideal client. I want to help everyone, no matter the challenge.

My treatment methods

Compassion Focused

I usually start my sessions gathering information and being compassionate focused. This helps me build rapport with my clients and create human relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

After building rapport I try to utilize CBT to have my clients look at the problem from different perspectives.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

After building rapport and utilizing CBT I move onto DBT to give you the tools for when I am not with my client to cope with these stressors and problems. I am solution focused in some ways.

Supportive

After I get to know my clients for a while I will push your boundaries at times. Sometimes we need someone in our life to call us out in a kind manner to help us work on ourselves.

Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS)

I am client centered if one day you come in a want to vent ok that’s fine if you want to work on problems that is ok with me. It is up to you how you want the session to go.

I am only on my third session with Jenna however she’s been very easy to trust and speak too. She is honestly the first therapist that I feel I am able to tell the whole truth too, and she will (professionally) call me out when I’m not taking responsibility or doing what I need to do, which is something I desperately need. She is able to validate my feelings while pointing out the ways I am contributing to my own suffering. So grateful I found her and this app.
