Jenna Reynolds, LPC

 

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a designation that signifies my extensive training and expertise in the field of mental health counseling. Additionally, I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), which reflects my commitment to maintaining high standards of practice and ongoing professional development. Furthermore, I have specialized credentials as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, allowing me to provide targeted support and interventions for individuals on the autism spectrum.

With 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, including children, adolescents, and adults. My professional journey has taken me through various clinical settings, both inpatient and outpatient, where I have honed my skills in delivering effective therapeutic interventions. In inpatient facilities, I have worked with individuals facing acute mental health crises, providing immediate support and stabilization. In outpatient settings, I have developed long-term therapeutic relationships, guiding clients through their personal challenges and helping them achieve their mental health goals.

My experience also includes conducting crisis assessments, where I evaluate individuals in urgent situations to determine the appropriate level of care and intervention needed. This critical aspect of my work requires not only clinical expertise but also the ability to remain calm and composed under pressure, ensuring that clients receive the support they need in their most vulnerable moments.

In addition to traditional face-to-face counseling, I have embraced the growing field of remote Telehealth services. This innovative approach allows me to reach clients who may have barriers to accessing in-person care, whether due to geographical limitations, mobility issues, or other factors. Through Telehealth, I provide the same level of skilled and compassionate care, ensuring that my clients feel supported and connected, regardless of their location.

My work extends into educational settings, where I have collaborated with K-12 schools and higher education institutions. In these environments, I have provided counseling services, conducted workshops, and offered training to educators and staff on mental health awareness and support strategies. My goal in these settings is to create a safe and supportive atmosphere for students, helping them navigate the challenges they face academically and personally.

Overall, my extensive experience and specialized training enable me to offer comprehensive and empathetic care to individuals across the lifespan. I am dedicated to fostering resilience, promoting mental wellness, and empowering my clients to lead fulfilling lives.

Having had the enriching experience of living in both Asia and Europe, I have developed a deep appreciation for the diverse cultural landscapes that shape human experiences and perspectives. My time in these regions has allowed me to immerse myself in various traditions, languages, and worldviews, which has significantly influenced my approach to therapy.

I enthusiastically welcome cultural diversity in therapy, as it enriches the dialogue between therapist and client. By acknowledging and exploring the cultural factors that influence a person’s life, I aim to create a safe and inclusive space where clients feel understood and validated. This approach not only fosters trust but also encourages clients to share their unique stories and perspectives, leading to a more holistic understanding of their experiences.

I implement a person-affirming, Christ-centered model of care and practice that is firmly rooted in the guidelines established by the American Association of Christian Counselors. This approach is designed to honor the inherent worth and dignity of each individual, recognizing that everyone is created in the image of God and deserving of compassion, respect, and understanding.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Whether you are seeking to navigate a particularly stressful moment in your life, repair a broken relationship, heal from a traumatic memory, or learn how to integrate a solid foundation of Biblical values into your daily living, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey.

Navigating stressful moments can often feel overwhelming, and it is my goal to provide you with the tools and support necessary to manage these challenges effectively. Together, we can explore coping strategies that align with your faith and values, helping you to find peace and clarity amidst the chaos.

If you are dealing with the pain of a broken relationship, whether it be with a family member, friend, or partner, I offer guidance and support to help you understand the dynamics at play and work towards reconciliation. We will delve into communication techniques, conflict resolution strategies, and the importance of forgiveness, all while grounding our discussions in Biblical principles that promote love, understanding, and healing.

For those who are grappling with the effects of traumatic memories, I provide a compassionate space to process these experiences. Healing from trauma is a journey that often requires patience and support, and I am committed to helping you navigate this path. Together, we will explore therapeutic techniques that are informed by both psychological principles and Christian teachings, allowing you to find hope and restoration.

Additionally, I recognize the importance of integrating a foundation of Biblical values into your life. This involves not only understanding the teachings of Scripture but also applying them in practical ways that enhance your daily living. Whether you are seeking to strengthen your faith, develop a deeper understanding of God’s purpose for your life, or cultivate a more Christ-like character, I am here to support you in this transformative process.

I work with sincerity, compassion and discernment to provide a supportive environment where you can talk candidly about your concerns. I want the therapeutic process to feel helpful and worthwhile! Through the work of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a trauma informed approach, we will work together to move past obstacles and take steps to achieve your goals. 

In summary, my approach to counseling is holistic and deeply rooted in a Christ-centered framework. I am dedicated to providing person-affirming care that respects your unique journey and fosters growth, healing, and spiritual development. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals and finding a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment in your life.
