Jenny Reed, MS, RMHCI

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you are unsure where to begin. Teens may be navigating anxiety, school pressures, relationships, self-esteem, or difficult emotions, while adults and families may be facing their own challenges, transitions, and uncertainties. Whatever brings you to therapy, you do not need to have everything figured out before taking the first step.

I take a client-centered approach to therapy, meeting each person where they are and tailoring the therapeutic process to their individual needs, experiences, and goals. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, relationship or family challenges, major life transitions, or more complex concerns, I believe meaningful change begins when clients feel understood, respected, and supported as whole people.

When working with teens, I focus on creating a space where they can feel comfortable being themselves, express what they are experiencing, and develop healthier ways of managing emotions, stress, relationships, and everyday challenges. I also recognize the importance of family support and, when appropriate, work collaboratively with parents to strengthen communication and support progress outside of therapy.

When working with couples and families, I help clients better understand relationship patterns, strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and develop healthier, more meaningful ways of connecting with one another.

My goal is to create a compassionate, supportive environment where clients feel safe exploring difficult experiences without judgment. Together, we can build greater insight, strengthen emotional regulation and coping skills, and help clients develop a stronger connection with themselves and the important people in their lives. You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy, we can start where you are and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.

Experience

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lynn University. I have provided therapy to adults, couples, and families in a dual diagnosis treatment setting, working with anxiety, depression, trauma, co-occurring substance use disorders, and complex clinical needs. My work includes crisis intervention, behavioral interventions, and trauma-informed care with clients experiencing acute emotional and psychological distress.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the art world teaching and consulting. This background continues to inform my use of creative and expressive approaches in therapy, particularly with clients who benefit from experiential and nonverbal ways of processing emotions. These approaches can offer additional ways to explore emotions, experiences, and patterns when words alone may not fully capture what a client is experiencing.
