I am an LPC with over 10 years of experience in mental health counseling. I have worked in outpatient sectors with various populations in the capacity of individual, couple, and family therapy. I have experience with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, PTSD, ADHD, family/relational conflict, suicide, and grief. I utilized a Person-Centered approach that encompasses a holistic, team-oriented, and integrative modality of treatment that best fits the needs of my clients. I am here to be a guide in your journey to being the best version of yourself. Let’s foster your healing together.

“Recovery Is Possible” As a Licensed Certified Social Worker, my goal is to work in a partnership with individuals to assist them in recognizing their own strengths, self-worth, and resilience to promote growth and positive changes. I work to empower individuals to confidently utilize their abilities to improve the quality of life and experience healing from stressors or crises. I have 25+ years of therapy experience (including: individual, family/couples, and group therapy) addressing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges for children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and geriatric populations.

Life can be challenging. These challenging moments may bring feelings of confusion, hurt, depression, anxiety, and shame. One of the most difficult steps to take is reaching out and seeking help. I feel privileged each time an individual is willing to share their story with me and genuinely believe that everyone has the ability to achieve healing despite their life experiences. My clinical focus is on children, adolescents, and young adults and I am passionate about assisting these individuals in navigating through the difficult elements of their journey.

At some point in their lives, most people face some sort of stressor, trauma, or obstacle. Since entering the counseling field in 1995, Jenny Caldwell has seen that everyone - no matter who they are - has or has had something going on behind the scenes. As a Licensed Certified Social Worker, she focuses her work on adults & sometimes teens, primarily in areas of grief, depression, anxiety, women’s issues, & divorce. She particularly enjoys helping with the complex challenges that blended families & co-parenting individuals face. Jenny also has extensive experience providing adoption home studies for families, judges, and attorneys.

As a dedicated therapist Intern with a passion for empowering individuals, I specialize in addressing a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, self-worth and self-image, gender & sexual identity exploration, challenges during various transitional phases of life. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in helping you navigate life’s challenges with authenticity and resilience.

As a psychologist, I help people change the thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that interfere with their physical and psychological health. As individuals begin to examine their feelings and attitudes and develop more effective patterns of behavior, they begin to feel happier and more content with their lives. Each individual, couple or family is provided with a supportive environment to talk openly about concerns, solve problems and achieve a healthier and happier lifestyle as quickly as possible.

If you are looking at this page you are taking the first brave step toward help. Distress is not a choice, but getting help is. I believe that therapy is about change, hope and reconnection. Often times devastation of betrayal, abandonment, divorce, disease, or death can change you instantly. Your struggle is part of your story and I want to hear it. Perhaps anger, depression and anxiety are constant companions. Sometimes others only see what we allow them to see and that is just the tip of the iceberg, the real pain and emotions are below the surface. Past trauma or current stressful life situations can make us feel stuck.

My ideal client is someone motivated for change and wants to better understand themselves and their world around them. I worked many years in school-based therapy learning and helping kids and families adapt and adjust to one another. I have always focused on trauma and trauma related issues because it was so needed. Since then I have seen adult and children alike to help foster positive change because trauma is a lifelong challenge. My goal for my clients is to walk away with a better understanding of who you are, what you need, and how to better your life.

Growth is a continuing journey through the different stages and transitions of our lives. Each person’s needs are unique. My therapy focuses on finding what those needs are for you, guided by your own intuition, strengths, and goals to fit your particular life experience.

As a clinician, I believe that when encouragement is present, people thrive and empower themselves to find their own healthy validation. Alfred Adler said, “Seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another ”. This raveled sentence means so much to me. I want clients to know you are seen, heard, and those feelings that you experience are accepted and safe here.

Living with anxiety can feel like there are too many internet tabs open in your mind. Or like you're standing in a crowded place and nobody senses the danger but you, as your heart races and your mind jumps from worry to worry. You feel overwhelmed even when you think there is no reason you should be. Anxiety steals your identity and leaves you feeling lost and off-balance. Some days, just existing is exhausting. If this sounds like you, I see you. I know how it feels to live with anxiety, and now I help others learn to overcome it too. I would love to help you regain control over your life so you can enjoy it again.
