Jennifer Shonkwiler, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, believes that 'out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars,' as beautifully stated by Khalil Gibran. She is dedicated to guiding individuals struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or experiencing physical manifestations of stress. Jennifer understands that while stress is an inevitable aspect of life, there are effective strategies to adapt and thrive. With a compassionate approach, she encourages clients to engage in self-reflection every day to foster personal growth. Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem, Jennifer helps clients realize that these struggles do not define them. In their collaborative journey, clients will explore their reasons for seeking counseling and set goals for acquiring new coping skills. Employing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR Therapy, Jennifer aims to empower individuals to rediscover their inner strength and develop self-compassion. Her hope is for clients to grow and heal throughout the therapeutic process. The journey toward healing can begin today; seeking help is a courageous step.
