Welcome! I'm Jerniece, Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (NJ). I have a MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. I have over 6+ years of clinical experience working with diverse populations, including individual, single & blended parents, couples, groups, and families. Extensive experience processing within a safe and nurturing virtual setting.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll start with brief introduction and identifying challenges to tailor your goals moving forward. Remember that the client is the expert. I offer a safe place to explore vulnerable and uncomfortable thoughts so that together, we can find ways to break negative patterns. Therapy can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Understanding the profound impact of trauma on individuals' lives, I aim to create a supportive environment for clients, helping them process their experiences and find resilience in their healing journey. My dedication lies in assisting clients in overcoming past challenges and embracing a more positive future. Together, we will identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of what you're facing with an "actions I can take right now" approach. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.
