Individual Counseling
Change Can Be Gorgeous
Change can also be messy and slow, but also worth it.
Individual counseling with Jenni always includes listening carefully to your story, validating your experiences, and empowering your growth. Sometimes you might want to talk through and process what going on; sometimes you might want some direction. Jenni does both and infuses individual therapy with a mixture of calm presence and tailored frameworks/strategies so you can get the most out of your quest for change as possible. Jenni is far more than a "Tell me what you're feeling," kind of therapist (although she's been known to say that!). She's in it with you, helping you craft your healing in a way that feels authentic and leads to the goals you've set for yourself.
Discernment Counseling
The New Approach for Couples on the Brink
For more information, please check out DC at www.discernmentcounseling.com. The following information comes directly from that website.
Discernment counseling is a way for couples to look at their options before making a final decision about divorce. It is most appropriate for couples where one partner wants to preserve and repair the relationship and the other is leaning towards ending it. Research shows that this kind of “mixed agenda” is common among couples approaching divorce, and there is a dearth of special services for them. It’s also a common (and difficult) presentation in couples counseling.
Discernment counseling differs from regular marriage counseling in three ways: a) the goal is not to solve problems in the relationship, but to figure out whether the problems can be solved; b) the process involves mainly individual conversations with each partner, since they each have different needs and agendas, and c) it is always short term.
Couples Therapy
Couples counseling is for couples who have identified some issues in their relationship (like communication, intimacy, trust, parenting, financial, etc.) and are interested in making changes to how they do things.
Jenni is trained as a family systems therapist and can help couples reconnect, change their communication, and regain trust. Jenni often uses her exclusive Relationship Consulting process to help couples identify and prioritize issues they want to work on.
Decoupling Counseling
Decoupling Counseling is for couples who have made the decision to permanently separate or divorce.
Decoupling Counseling can make a HUGE difference in your relationship post-breakup.
Decoupling Counseling can help couples co-create a narrative of the breakup that doesn't demonize or victimize either party in such a way that it will harm children or other family members. Decoupling Counseling is a unique opportunity to minimize emotional trauma while, at the same time, providing each partner a sturdy base from which to move on.
Coaching Services
A Divorce Coach is a specially trained divorce professional who takes you from where you are now, and helps you get to where you want to be once your divorce is over.
A Coparenting Coach helps parents learn new strategies for communicating about the children, set new and different boundaries with each other, establish a narrative for the children that helps them preserve their good memories of the family, and create new protocols for working together in the future.
Jenni provides coaching services to individuals and couples who have specific issues related to parenting, divorce, post-divorce, and high-conflict relationships.
