Elizabeth Jenkins

My communication style

I believe my clients find me empathic, sensitive, and deeply caring. I also bring a sensitive practicality and honesty to our work together, and I embrace direct feedback about what is most and least helpful in my responses and approaches.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was born into a family rich with a history of helping others. My grandmother, father, and sister were all clinical social workers, and I grew up curious about what "makes people tick".

My goals for you

Often, an understanding of your goals develops over several sessions, and they may turn out to be very similar to or at times different than what brought you initially into counseling. We will openly discuss if we are progressing in helping you reach your objectives, and we will identify any barriers and how we might help overcome them together.

Our first session

Our first session together can be both exciting and relieving, yet at times slightly frustrating. It is important (and required by insurance) that a full assessment of your concerns within the context of your life be obtained before proceeding to engage in therapy.
