Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in Greensboro, NC

I earned my Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at NC State University. I am a fully licensed LCMHC (licensed clinical mental health counselor) with 6 years of clinical experience counseling a vast population varying in age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, personal beliefs and cultural norms. I deeply value my work with individuals processing trauma and PTSD and feel equally fulfilled providing support to individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders, personality disorders, grief and loss as well as in areas related to self-worth, identity and self-esteem.

Jennifer earned her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from North Carolina State University. Her clinical style is heavily rooted in a person-centered and humanistic foundation with a breadth of trauma-informed modalities.

I believe in the importance of integrating interventions and theories to account for the unique nature each person brings. I draw from psychodynamic theory so clients can understand present day beliefs and behaviors by exploring and unpacking their past. I encourage clients to make connections to help them make sense of “the why” behind the behavior.

I appreciate the simplicity in complex things and view counseling in similar terms. People need people. We were never meant to brace this world without support. Human connection is not just a basic need; it is vital to living a life with meaning. I see counseling as a pathway to connection, knowing we are not alone and we never have to suffer in silence.

This is a second career for Jean, as she worked in Business Management in the oilfield industry prior to making the decision to return to school to complete her Bachelor of Science and Master of Social Work degrees. Since receiving her MSW degree, Jean has worked in a variety of roles, including direct service and business management for public health and behavioral health organizations.
