Jennifer Hester

My communication style

I am very down-to-earth, grounded, and calm. This is your space, and you are invited to use whatever words and language that align best with your process. Once we have a secure therapeutic rapport, I often incorporate some direct communication to help challenge and motivate perspective.

My journey to mental healthcare

My values as a social worker very much align with my values, and I couldn't see myself being anything else. I feel honored to have been able to work with so many different populations, cultures, and settings. I am driven by the passion for serving individuals and helping them heal and recognize their worth.

My goals for you

I view you as leading this journey, and I'm helping you navigate it in hopes of you getting to your desired destination. I am extremely collaborative and will periodically check in on your therapy goals as I believe they serve as the anchor of our work together.

Our first session

I am very personable while also very committed to helping you. During the first session, my goal is to promote safety and comfort and to best understand your goal(s). I value a comprehensive assessment, which means I may ask a variety of questions, as this helps me understand the "whole" person.
