Jennifer Lerma, a pre-licensed professional with a master's in social work, views the therapeutic process as akin to a flower blooming—each petal unfolds gently at its own pace under nurturing conditions, ultimately revealing a unique and lovely creation. She values the unfolding journey and is dedicated to creating a warm and safe space for clients' stories and growth to develop organically. The therapeutic relationship serves as the foundation of her approach, where she passionately supports individuals on their paths toward a balanced and meaningful life. Jennifer believes in the transformative power of play and incorporates expressive therapies to help clients expand, explore, and navigate through challenges. With experience working with children and families dealing with ADHD, depression, adjustment issues, anxiety, grief and loss, behavioral concerns, and family transitions, she implements a strengths-based family systems approach intertwined with mindfulness, play therapy, and music therapy. Understanding that growth can be painful at times, Jennifer creates an environment where sharing burdens becomes more manageable. She looks forward to holding space for clients to narrate their stories, witnessing their unfolding, and honoring their growth throughout the therapeutic journey.
