Jennifer Perry
Counselor - LPC
I know how hard reaching out for help is ~ I actually think it may be the hardest part! I know this from my 18 years of serving as a counselor in numerous settings and also from reaching out myself for help when life is overwhelming and I need support and help.My approach to helping is dedicatedly non-pathologizing. What I mean by that is that I firmly believe that there is nothing, nothing, nothing wrong with you. Your brain, mind, system is doing exactly what it was designed to do to try to keep you safe and surviving. Understood from the lens of both your evolutionary history and personal developmental history I know that your situation and experience MAKES SENSE. Understanding and learning about how to take care of yourself and your nervous system, break patterns of behavior that helped you survive in the past but are problematic now, and moving in the direction of your values and dreams to live your most rich and meaningful life is the essence of my work with clients.I specialize in anxiety/fears, Highly Sensitive People, Parenting as an HSP and Parenting Highly Sensitive Children.I utilize a creative, individual approach combining Trauma-informed, Mindfulness and Self-compassion based approaches including Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, Peaceful/Attachment Parenting Principles and Co-Active Coaching.Sessions offered via secure tele-health video platform.
