Jennifer Lewis
Hello! My name is Jennifer Lewis, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have lived in the Wabash Valley all my life and have spent the last 10 years working in social services and behavioral health.
I have lived in the Wabash Valley all my life and have spent the last 10 years working in social services and behavioral health.
In my practice with Grow Therapy I work with adults who struggle with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, trauma, anger, and life transitions. In my practice, I use number of interventions with my clients that include a person-centered approach, CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and solution focused therapy.
First session
During our first session, we will take time to get to know one another so you can begin to feel comfortable in the therapy space. We will discuss expectations regarding sessions, treatment, and the therapy/client relationship. During our time together I will ask you questions to get to know you and determine what your needs/issues/problems are and discuss how you would like to work together to meet those needs. Therapy is a collaborative journey. Our sessions are a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We will work together to help you build resilience, feel empowered, and develop healthy ways to navigate life's challenges. I utilize evidence-based approaches and tailor them to your unique needs, ensuring our work together is effective and meaningful for you.
Strengths
My experiences have taught me that each person's story is unique and deserves to be honored. I believe therapy is a collaborative approach where you and I work as a team to manage the difficulties you are experiencing. As a therapist, my goal is to ensure you feel seen and heard in a safe and empathic space without judgment. Your experiences, strengths, and needs are at the core of our work together.
Ideal clients
I specialize in working with adults who experience difficulties due to abuse/neglect, depression, anxiety, adult ADHD/ASD, and life transitions. Clients often struggle to feel understood without judgment. It is important that my clients feel they are met with compassion and support in a safe and non-judgmental space. Clients often come to me looking for a therapist who balances genuine warmth and respect with practical, real-world tools. In our work together, we'll uncover the habits and patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen your coping strategies, and build a life that feels aligned with your true values.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for a number of years and have helped clients restructure their thinking patterns, decrease symptoms, and gain resilience in dealing with the difficulties that life can bring. We will examine how your beliefs have impacted your thoughts and feelings and work on restructuring them to decrease your symptoms. We will identify ways of coping that meet your needs and help you manage difficult feelings.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I have used this therapeutic approach with clients for some time. My goal is to create a safe space where clients can feel validated and empowered. We will work collaboratively to create goals and build resilience identifying new skills to help you cope with difficult feelings and situations that cause you to feel "stuck" in your trauma.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I have used Solution-Focused Brief Treatment with a number of clients. During our sessions we will identify solutions instead of focusing on the past. My goal is to highlight your strengths and help you feel empowered to create your own solutions.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In my sessions with clients I use a person-centered or client-centered approach. My goal in therapy is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you have the opportunity to process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and gain insight into solutions to promote growth and become your authentic self.
