Hi, I am Jennifer Enders, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona. My counseling philosophy is one that explores belief systems and how these impact emotions and behaviors and thus have an impact on overall mental health symptoms. My expertise allows clients to develop their own perspective of problem solving and empowers them to make the changes needed in order to accomplish their goals.
My approach
I use a person centered approach and value the importance of a good therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Practices as part of my therapeutic interventions. I am also trauma informed.
My focus
Overall experience includes over 21 years working with clients with different presenting concerns; such as depression, anxiety, addiction issues, family conflict, parenting issues, trauma histories, and other various emotional and behavioral health challenges. I also have over 8 years of experience as a Clinical Supervisor.
My communication style
I offer a safe space to heal and grow, nurture yourself, and make yourself a priority.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was interested in psychology when I went to college. I ended up working in a Psychiatric hospital for a couple of years and decided I wanted to be able to do more to help clients and decided to pursue my Counseling degree. I enjoy helping people and it is an honor to hear stories and be a part of the journey.
My goals for you
I work together collaboratively with my clients to create a treatment plan. In this process we consider symptoms and if issues are interfering with functioning, as well as discussing how a person wants to feel. It is also important to have goals and objectives that are measurable.
My first session with you
During the initial session we will complete an intake assessment and treatment plan. This includes a comprehensive history of the client.
