    Jenine is not only a great listener but also incredibly compassionate. I found ways to manage my anxiety with her help.

  • Male, 28

    ​"I was having an incredibly difficult time after a relationship ended and I had never done therapy before. Jenine has helped me work through all the feelings, sadness and anxiety through out this process. She is very non judgemental and focused on what you want to talk about at that time. This has been such a great experience for me and my friends have seen the changes and now think everyone should try therapy"

    "Jenine has been my therapist for a few months now. During the time I have really enjoyed working with her. She has helped me learn to manage my anxiety, working through stressful situations and making decisions on my own. She is a constant cheerleader and truly wants what is best for me. I highly recommend her and have actually referred friends and family members to work with her"

  • Female, 23

    "Working with Jenine has been great! I've been seeing her for only a couple of months now, but it feels like years with how easy she is to talk with. She is very open and understands the LGBTQ community and relationships. I am learning to be kinder to myself and creating new tools to help with my ADHD and it has all made a huge difference."

  • Male, 45

    "Jenine is great and just what I needed to get back on track. She worked with me on a doable plan that wasn't "all or nothing" so I didn't feel like I was failing when I slipped up. I've dramatically reduced my drinking. I'm much healthier and living life to its fullest as a result"

  • Male, 56

    "Having never been to a therapist before, I was very hesitant going into my first meeting with Jenine and she immediately made me feel comfortable.  I’ve been delighted with how easy it is for me to discuss the challenges I’m navigating with my family and career and in a safe, judgement free environment.  She also has access to a robust network from her years as a professional to connect me with additional resources that have all been very helpful." 

  • Female, 42

    "Jenine is the best therapist I have been to. She is knowledgeable and wise. Jenine has loads of experience allowing her to get to your problem quickly and offer real solutions. Thank you, Jenine"

  • Female, 24

  • Male, 48

    ​​"I was having a very difficult time decreasing my drinking and was worried about my health. Jenine first wanted to look at my other life issues that may be at play with my drinking, then we had me get a physical and now we are working on harm reduction and I am truly grateful for my health and an open space to talk about something that others find shame in with a person who is open and truly understands the feelings and issues with this difficult change in my life"

She has already impacted my life in a positive way after only a few sessions"

  • Male, 51

    "She has been very helpful with me working through grief and anger. Sometimes I would feel as if I didn't need to go but as soon as I was done with a session, I always felt lighter. She does not ever make you feel any of your "crazy" thoughts are crazy, if anything she reminds you, you are not alone.

  • Male, 41

    "I enjoyed talking with Jenine. She listened and did not judge me based on heresay, it's sad people that help someone waste time and energy on the wrong people and information. Jenine listened to me openly and the experience reminded me there are still good honest therapists"

  • Male, 24

    "Jenine was a good, non judegmental listener. She addressed a sensitive matter in a respectful and understanding way that made me comfortable sharing. I would highly recommend her"

  • Female, 55

    "I am so thankful and lucky to have found Jenine. After moving to FL from MN, I had so much anxiety about finding a new counselor. I knew right away that she was someone that I could connect with. She's very professional, knowledgeable and judgement free. I didn't even know where to start but she let me spill everything and she assured me that she can follow along, take notes and eventually we would connect it all, but take one thing at a time."

  • Female, 20

    "Jenine has been my therapist for about 7 months and every session is a non judgement and safe space, I always feel so comfortable and validated. You can tell Jenine really cares about clients and not about just getting a paycheck. She has always checked in on me outside of sessions to make sure I am doing okay and she has made an impact on my life." 

  • Female, 22

    "Jenine helped me get through a tough time of many transitions with compassion and laughter. She guided me through this process with fun reading activities and even showed me a few great books that I keep on deck for family and friends now.
