I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with over 5 years of professional work experience. I obtained a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands and have worked as a clinician in community mental health and private practice. I have experience providing mental health services to adults who have experienced depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and career difficulties.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that helps to increase self-awareness, gain new perspectives, decrease symptoms, and increase personal strengths to create more meaningful life experiences. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment in order to promote a safe space for you to heal. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Bipolar disorder, Compassion fatigue, ADHD

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jennifer McNamer. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Jennifer is one of the best I’ve ever had. She’s very attentive, supportive, and encouraging. I feel more comfortable with her than others I have turned to in the past. She keeps up with small details in my life that she recognizes as an impact. I would heavily suggest her to anyone- in fact I have talked about her help to some close friends- and I feel very lucky to have her by my side.

Has been very easy to talk to and understanding since day one! Quick to problem solve, and is just an overall safe and comfortable soul :)
