I’m Jennifer Wheeler, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Most of my clients come to therapy because they want to feel happy and be able to connect with others. Areas we often explore are relationship and family issues, problems at work, depression, anxiety, past trauma, and substance abuse. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe place where you can freely express yourself without judgment, explore whatever is troubling you, and develop strategies to facilitate the change you desire. I use a variety of approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Treatment is then tailored based on individual needs.
Our first session will allow us to get to know each other and see if we are a good therapeutic fit. We will explore what led you to come to therapy and what you hope to gain. If you feel comfortable speaking, I’ll let you take the lead. If you don’t know where to start, I can help by asking some questions to get you started. I’ll also ask some questions about your past to get a better understanding of who you are. Then, I’ll provide you with a preliminary plan on how we can collaborate to achieve your goals. If you feel we can develop a working relationship then we can schedule additional sessions.
