Jennifer Rich LPC

Knowing that it is usually an experience of pain or frustration that prompts people to seek counseling, my goal is to provide a safe place for you to effectively move through it.  Often that pain comes from unmet needs, harmful experiences, or coping systems that no longer serve you.  I work with you, to offer reflection, understanding, information, and new windows to help you experience relief and a sense of well being.  I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches to provide what is most effective for your individual goals. In general, treatment can focus on increasing insight and self-awareness, fostering empowerment, resolving blocks or old wounds, and developing new skills that will allow change, healing and growth to occur. While talk therapy provides a base to work from, I also specialize in EMDR and somatic therapies and offer these services when it seems appropriate and helpful.  If any of the issues listed below relate to what you are experiencing call for a free consultation to see if my services would be right for you.

• Anxiety; feeling worried, fearful, not able to turn off your thoughts, overwhelmed
