My name is Jenna Van Wagner and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. We live in a fast-paced, stressful, and achievement-oriented culture where we are expected to move through our lives checking off our endless to-do lists. Many of us have accepted this as the norm and we inevitably begin to see the impact of a life filled with days lived at a frantic pace. Without building in time to pause and reflect, so many of us find ourselves experiencing the painful effects of depression and anxiety. I am committed to helping people embrace mindfulness and taking time to process their past and present in a safe space. I have found through my own work that being open to your past by taking time in the present can bring a greater sense of peace and self-acceptance. It is my hope to help each client build a practice of mindfulness and self-care that will support both their internal life as well as impact their communities in a positive way.
My approach
I am currently participating in training for EMDR to help clients move through trauma. However, I pull from many approaches in my work but I am client-centered with mindfulness at the core.
My focus
I typically work with clients who struggle with early childhood trauma, depression, and anxiety. As a licensed therapist, I am comfortable treating men and women with conditions that are holding them back from getting the most out of their lives. I have worked with women who struggle with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety.
My communication style
I create a calm, positive, client-centered environment. We work on finding your strengths to bring about the change you want to see in your life.
My journey to mental healthcare
Mental Health, self-improvement, and mindfulness are three areas I can't read enough about. I am eager to learn more to improve my own life and in doing so, I love to help others.
My goals for you
I approach goal setting with clients through mindfulness meditation and through a client-centered approach. You are the only person who knows the goals you would like to obtain.
My first session with you
During the first session of therapy, I will complete an assessment, and learn more about you, your history, and what brought you into therapy. I hope we will have time on our first session together to discover your goals for therapy.
