Hi! My name is Jenifer Shadrick. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate. I have nearly a decade's experience in the mental health field working with couples, families, and individuals of all ages.
My approach
Throughout the counseling process, we will work together to build a trusting therapeutic relationship as you identify, explore, and overcome personal barriers and challenges. I believe being mindful, solution-focused, and using effective communication skills allows individuals the ability to create and maintain healthy boundaries and relationships. Therapy approaches may differ as everyone is unique with their own needs and goals.
My focus
Working together with children, adults, couples, and families who often feel overwhelmed, stressed, and unbalanced due to struggles with personal challenges, communication, relationships, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, emotion regulation, unhealthy thinking patterns, and everyday life demands.
My communication style
My goal is to create a safe, accepting, and culturally sensitive environment for everyone. With support and guidance, you and your loved ones will develop self-awareness, self-acceptance, and positive coping skills, as you navigate through life with a refreshed outlook finding acceptance, peace, and hope.
My journey to mental healthcare
Observing individuals, couples, and families struggling to appreciate each other as they are often impacted by life stressors and using unhealthy communication styles. Desire to provide support and guidance to create a new outlook on life and relationships.
My goals for you
Assist in identifying realistic goals and expectations as you begin to discover how past/current negative habits and thought patterns impact choices, interactions with others, and possible prevention of achieving desired future goal successes.
My first session with you
Begin building rapport to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship as we work together to discover potential strengths and areas of growth. Explore the therapy process and develop realistic goals and expectations of the therapeutic journey.
