Online Therapy for Kids, Teens & Young Adults in Fayetteville

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I have been working in the mental health field for 7 years, and have experience working with families and children that are survivors of traumatic experiences. I have experience helping these families and individuals navigate disorders, hard experiences and emotions in hopes of facilitating healing. I often take a client-centered and affirmative approach which allows the client to be in control of their own healing journey.

I'm a clinical mental health counselor licensed by the state of North Carolina. I enjoy working with teens and adults navigating life’s challenges, transitions, and emotional stressors. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier patterns that support long-term well-being.

Anxiety and other struggles can cause children and teens to forget how strong and capable they can be. Although parents work hard to bring out the best in their children and teens, sometimes information on how to succeed is better received coming from someone else. I have supported ages 5 through 16 to navigate public schools for 9 years. Prior to that I worked as a trauma therapist who supported youth to process experiences that left them feeling overwhelmed and powerless.

I am an open-minded and supportive therapist who specializes in anxiety, mood disorders, neurodiversity, relationship and family challenges, and trauma. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a focus on Marriage and Family Counseling and hold graduate certificates in Expressive Arts Therapy and Addictions Counseling. I am also a Trust Based Relational Intervention Practitioner which involves specific training to meet the complex developmental needs of children who have experienced trauma and attachment insecurity. My main focus in therapy is to help you feel safe and to understand your challenges from your viewpoint. My goal is to help build on your strengths and develop new skills so that challenges feel workable. Being stuck or overwhelmed can feel isolating and I don't want you to feel alone, we can work together. My hope is that you finish therapy with greater self-awareness, confidence, and connection.

Jen is an LCSW who believes therapy works best when clients feel truly in control of their own story. She works with teens and adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and substance use, creating a relaxed, open-minded space for honest conversation.
