Djenne Boutrin
Hi, I'm Djenne (pronounced juh-NAY)! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Dance/Movement Therapist (R-DMT) with a warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth approach. With Guyanese and Caribbean roots and a first-generation upbringing, I understand how culture, family expectations, and identity can shape our experiences.
My background in dance/movement therapy allows me to bring a holistic perspective, recognizing the connection between the mind and body.
I enjoy supporting adults navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and self-discovery.
First session
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and that's okay! Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other, discuss what brought you to therapy, and explore your goals. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, supported, and more at ease about the journey ahead.
Strengths
I bring warmth, authenticity, and a nonjudgmental approach to each session. I strive to create a space where you feel heard and supported, while also encouraging self-reflection and gently challenging patterns that may be holding you back. My background in dance/movement therapy allows me to bring a holistic perspective, recognizing the connection between the mind and body.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone navigating life's transitions, managing anxiety, building confidence, or exploring their identity and relationships. They may feel overwhelmed or uncertain about their next steps while balancing personal goals and outside expectations. I'm passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward greater self-awareness, healthier coping skills, and personal growth. You don't need to have everything figured out to begin therapy.
Ongoing work together
As we continue working together, we'll explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical tools to navigate life's challenges. Progress looks different for everyone, whether it's setting boundaries, managing stress, or becoming more aware of your needs. We'll regularly check in on your goals, recognize your growth, and adjust our approach to support your progress.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings. We'll work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you!
Strength-Based
I believe everyone has strengths, even when they're hard to recognize. Together, we'll identify and build on those strengths to help you navigate challenges, build confidence, and reach your goals.
Somatic
I may incorporate optional mind-body techniques, such as grounding or gentle movement, to support emotional awareness and well-being, based on your comfort and preferences.
