As a mental health counselor and gender specialist, my commitments are to be your advocate, supporter, teacher, and encourager. Together, we will create a safe and trusting therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable to work. It is a truth of mine that we are all in our own struggles; if only we could be there together in those struggles, we may be able to truly find our strengths more easily.
My therapy style is interactive, inviting and a space I commit to always feeling honest and authentic (I love a good sense of humor along the way). I focus on supporting the individual, as each is unique and may present an array of concerns. An individual will be able to enter into a therapeutic environment that is safe, free from judgment, and supportive. I strive to supply a space for each client that is empowering and motivating. I primarily work from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Positive Psychology. I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, adults, and LGBTQ-affirmative and Transgender transitioning.
I have specific experience within trauma-focused, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships, family issues and child behavior concerns. I enjoy working with clients on issues of self-esteem building, anxiety reduction, coping skills, and relationship skills-building. Knowing your authentic self is a true journey of discovery and self-love. This is a true guide for all of my clinical work. I have collected my clinical experience from settings of private practice, university counseling and grade schools.
I am an avid reader (kind of a history and sci-fi dork...) and have two fantastically wild and amazing kiddos. In my spare time, you can always catch me hosting impromptu dance parties in the kitchen.
I am currently a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (NC) and National Board Certified Counselor. I typically schedule Live Sessions week-to-week, including offering some evening and weekend slots. I will be happy to work out a consistent time for you once we get started.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jennifer (Jen) Sherman. 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.
Jen has been there for me through the hardest days of my life. I don't think I would have made it through this past year without her support. She is calming, understanding, and offers perspective when needed. She listens to you and understands your needs. I am lucky that this has been my experience, and hope everyone is able to work with someone as lovely as Jen.

Jen and I have been on the same wavelength from the start. I read her bio and I immediately resonated with her being, she listens and gets you to think. She definitely feels like a friend and a home that is safe to relax and be! Much gratitude Jen.

Jennifer is awesome, there was time when I thought I lost everything, that life wasn't worth living anymore.
I was so wrong , and life has really just started for me.
I was really never happy , but now my life is alot happier.
Transgender dysphoria is a killer and if it is not addressed you will never live the life u were meant to have.
Yes ,you'll lose many, but gain more in time.
These people u gain will be true friends.

I really can’t put into words what Jennifer has and still does for me. I didn’t think I could ever get my happiness, self confidence or self respect back. But Jennifer has helped me to realize I can. That I deserve to be happy, confident and to respect who I am. She’s helped me to see that it’s ok to not be ok. And Jennifer’s there whether I’m ok or not ok!! Thank you

Jennifer is a joy to work with - flexible, kind, caring, and compassionate. She's motivating, and always helps to reframe and affirm. I have so enjoyed working with her in these few weeks and I'm sure that I will continue to learn more from her in my mental health journey. My favorite thing about Jennifer is that she's so down-to-earth. I never feel judged, or like I'm talking to a Capital C Counselor. I feel like I'm talking to a kind, empathetic human who truly understands and is trying to help.
