Jennifer Sprinkle, LPC — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Jennifer!

I am a counselor here in Colorado. I have been in the mental health field, working mostly in the school system with students and their families.

My focus

My client's focus is growth. Sometimes this may look like small steps or victories, but also remember you may have many habits/difficulties that have been around for a long time. These will take time to work through.

My approach

I like to use a strengths-based approach to therapy and focus on what you do have control over and can change, while also processing feelings/reactions about things that are not in your control. I also employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to dismantle any cognitive distortions that may be impacting your behavior/reactions.

My communication style

I like to create an accepting environment for my clients. You are the expert on you. While I may challenge you/your thinking at times, I like to do so in a gentle and supportive way. I want to be someone you trust and feel comfortable talking with on a therapeutic level.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to become a counselor because 1) I love talking with and learning about people, and 2) I believe in mental health and the effects that it has on people's lives.

My goals for you

I like to approach goal setting with both short-term and long-term goals. I think that both are very important for growth. Short-term goals help motivate us and help us feel a sense of accomplishment that is necessary to continue to work towards long-term goals.

Our first session

During your first session with me, I will be getting a lot of background information about you and your previous life experiences. I will also discuss your goals for therapy and the frequency at which you would like to meet. If we both feel like we are a good match for each other, then we can move forward!
