Jennifer has been a God's send. I've been struggling with my marriage and infidelity issues which led to other challenges. Jennifer is helping me break down barriers and exploring more of what's going on. I feel like she hears me challenges me and gives me tools to help me be able to get through anything. I thank her and biggest think her encouragement lets me know I AM NOT ALONE!

I have seen Jennifer just a couple of times so far, but she has helped me understand a lot about why I do things certain ways, or respond in certain ways. She has helped me think through so much in such a short time already. I’ve seen a few other counselors in the past, but Jennifer has already helped me more than the previous counselors had. I definitely recommend her for anyone!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jennifer is great! She is very kind and knowledgeable and a great listener.
Jennifer is a compassionate listener and guide helping me to clarify my goals and insights. She offers insight along with practical tools which have proven to be very helpful. I highly recommend Jennifer.
I have used many counseling services in the past including BetterHelp and had been dissatisfied. However since working with Jennifer I have felt re-newed and refocused. Her person centered approach and allowing me to be who I am has helped my recovery. This may sound cliché but I am really not sure how well I would be if it were not for Jennifer and BetterHelp allowing me to easily change counselors hassle free to get her. I'm forever grateful and thankful for her and this service.
Jennifer by far has really helped me change my life around. When I started therapy I was very unmotivated and honestly I’d even say depressed at times. After 5 months of working together, she’s helped me turn all of that around. She helped me really see the better in myself. I have nothing but gratitude for all of her help. I’m so incredibly happy and much less anxious and it’s all thanks to her guidance!
Jennifer is great and personal. She gives great advice and really listens to what you are saying and works with you on how to work through your development in therapy.
Jennifer is enthusiastic and always demonstrates how much she cares. She is always focused and so helpful in session. There is no pressure when speaking to her and she takes special care to remind you that this is about you and not her. She is FANTASTIC.
I’ve have not spent very much time speaking with Jennifer so far. Yet the 2 weeks that I have spoken with her has helped me feel more content within myself. I look forward to having more sessions with Jennifer!
