Jen Reis
Hi there, I'm Jen and I am the owner of Peachy Keen Counseling LLC. Do you feel as if life keeps throwing you curveballs? Or do you feel as if you are still trying to find your path in life? Maybe you're feeling like you struggle to find balance in your life between work, school, relationships, and other obligations? Or are you a parent and struggling with everything that entails? I am an LICSW that believes that you possess everything you need to build the life you love, we just need to dig it out. I help young adults and people of all ages develop and foster healthy relationships and find a balance between the demands of life. I provide resources and skills to manage and improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and past traumas. I also utilize my background in education and child care to assist in treatment related to being a parent or caregiver. I also include overall wellness into my practice. I can teach you about mindfulness, grounding, guided meditations, journaling, and deep breathing. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming at times but I have a very easy going and warm personality that is easy to feel comfortable with. You will set the pace of therapy and always be in the driver's seat when you work with me. I see clients that are 18 years or older only.
First session
Our first session will be spent just getting to know you, your goals, and your treatment history. I like to learn about what you have tried in the past and what has worked well, or not worked well. You will also have the opportunity to ask me questions and get to know me, as a therapist, a bit. You may notice that I utilize collaborative documentation, this means that I take notes while we talk. This is just to help my memory and ensure accuracy of your health record. When you work with me, you are in the driver's seat. I want you to feel empowered to tell me what is working well during our time together, and what is not. I will customize treatment to suit you, your needs, and your goals. I may also ask you to set a goal for yourself that you would like to accomplish between sessions.
Strengths
My strengths as a therapist include my utilization of humor when appropriate. I work well with clients that are going through a challenging phase of life, struggling to set boundaries, or looking to find ways to live a meaningful life with anxiety, depression, and trauma history. I work well with young adults that are finding their path. I also work well with those struggling in relationships either romantically or with family. I also enjoy working with parents of young children. Above all, I utilize my personality and warmth to grow the therapeutic relationship which is the foundation for the success of treatment.
Ideal clients
Young adults, parents of young and elementary children, elders. I do not see people that are under 18 years old.
