New to Grow
I'm Jill and I have been a social worker for more than 20 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Social Work. I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been doing mental health therapy for 10+ years. I have worked with all kinds of people from different backgrounds and I really enjoy the clients I work with.
Our first session will be an "Intake" session. I will review with you some of the standards of counseling and we will gather all of your biographical information. Once that has been collected, we will be able to begin working on your problem and figuring out how we will achieve your goals.
My approach is very client centered. I do not force my clients to talk about anything they are not ready to talk about. I want you to be as comfortable as possible when you share information with me.
I work best with people who are struggling with grief, depression, anxiety or trauma. I have worked with professionals in the past who have stressful jobs and have helped them deal with work stress. I love to work with people who are adopted, or have adopted, or are currently involved in the foster care process. I love to work with people who are wanting to make a better life for themself.
