Jenna Mcdonnell

Jenna McDonnell, a licensed professional counselor, understands the complexities of emotional experiences that her clients often share. Many individuals express feelings of frustration, saying, 'Logically, I know I shouldn't be reacting this way, but emotionally, that's a different story.' Jenna recognizes how clients may struggle with intense emotions such as fear, sadness, shame, or anger, even when they have a logical understanding of their situation. She has witnessed clients experiencing physical symptoms like heart racing, muscle tightness, headaches, or stomach upset, even on days that seem 'fine.' Jenna believes that all emotions serve as important messages, revealing insights about individual needs and desires, as well as what is functioning well or not. Her therapeutic approach guides clients to listen to their emotions and experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves. She aims to shift the narrative from 'What is wrong with me?' to 'What is my pain trying to tell me?' Through her sessions, Jenna assists clients in decoding the complexities of their emotions, exploring the connection between mind and body, and accessing the intrinsic strengths that empower their healing journey.
