Hello, my name is Jenny and I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina providing therapy through Better Help. I am so glad you have decided to explore therapy. I completed a BA in Psychology from NCCU and earned my Master of Social Work at NC State. For over a decade, I have partnered with countless individuals in my work at local hospitals and outpatient to help them process their feelings and move forward with a healthier mindset. My overall message has always been, ' Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated!'
I believe in actively listening to understand the stressors, thoughts, feelings, and values of my clients and that the first step toward healing is self awareness. When we're confronted with problems it is helpful to have reflection from someone who is compassionate, has personal and professional experience, is educated and unbiased. But ultimately, I believe we're healthiest when we can become confident in knowing ourselves with and without affirmation from others. I employ a variety of strategies to help you re-frame the challenges of your life and navigate any trauma or loss. I am adept at solution-focused brief therapy. My foundation is built on cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy approaches. In essence, if you change the way you think, you can change the way you behave.
I am grateful to provide therapy and would be honored to assist you .

I've only had two sessions with Jennifer and yet I know I'm in a better place than I was 2 weeks ago and it's only going to get better this I know to be true
