Jennifer Pope

Hi there, I'm Jennifer!

I provide a unique approach to decrease mental illness, emotional disturbance, and social dysfunction. My mission is to make mental health more approachable and tangible through lowering stigma, providing clinical treatment, and encouraging everyone to achieve optimal wellness.

My focus

I work best with clients that are experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression. My ideal clients would be ready for change and the work of going through the therapeutic process with a compassionate guide to achieve their greatest level of wellness.

My approach

I provide compassionate solution-focused treatment using CBT, EMDR, and other trauma-based modalities.

My communication style

I provide a down-to-earth style of communication with my clients. I encourage clients to come to sessions as their full authentic selves. I challenge my clients to get the most out of their sessions so this often includes homework and assessments throughout treatment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was always naturally the person in my circle and my family where people were coming to talk to me about what they were going through. This interest along with my innate sense to help others led me to the clinical social work career path. It is my career goal to help lower mental health stigma and help others become the best version of themselves.

My goals for you

I explore a client's vision of their therapeutic outcomes to create proposed treatment goals. The client must approve all treatment goals.

Our first session

Our first session is simply building rapport. As your therapist, I will get to know you beyond the questionnaire and surveys to gauge how to facilitate our therapeutic sessions to be most effective.
