Hello, I am Jennifer Wells, LCSW. I have over 15 years of experience as a social worker. I have worked mainly in community mental health dealing with many types of issues. I believe in a whole person approach and tend to lean toward solution focused and cognitive behavioral approaches. I am also trained in Trauma Focused CBT. I have studied how neuroscience is involved in building new brain pathways to better address negative patterns of behavior and to build positive patterns of behavior.
Everyone has times of struggle and challenges in their life which impact themselves and those around them. I enjoy helping people explore ways to manage their situations and grow to both a better understanding of self and improve skills in communication, relationships, and acceptance. It takes courage and strength to seek counseling and I look forward to helping you explore new pathways.
