My name is Jen Larratt-Smith, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience. I work primarily with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. My style best fits adults who find themselves struggling with anxiety, or depression or the effects of trauma. Sometimes it is a situational stressor that triggers these symptoms. Sometimes it is a chronic struggle with their self-esteem or their difficult past.

Maybe you struggle to feel confident using your voice. You question your feelings: Why do I feel this way? Is it OK to feel this way? Often times putting others ahead of ourselves leads us to feel burned out, anxious, and depressed. I will work with you to help gain a better understanding of yourself, your patterns, your hurts, and your strengths. I enjoy nurturing my client's self-confidence to help them move towards greater authenticity and joy.

It can be hard to make the decision to start therapy, and equally as hard to stick to it. This is one of the primary reasons I became a therapist, to help those who’ve struggled with conventional methods. My experience has had a big impact on how I’ve structured clinical practice, leading me to throw the proverbial couch out the window and go with a more direct, accountability-based approach. Whether you’re working on processing a negative self-image, relationship difficulty, career stressors, or other symptoms related to anxiety or depression, we’ll always be working to build mindfulness, purpose, and intention towards your goals.

A Healing Start Counseling is committed to helping individuals begin their journey toward a healthier, more self-compassionate version of themselves. Navigating feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression can become overwhelming and impact how you show up at work/school, in relationships and your daily life in general. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, creating a safe and trusting environment so that you feel fully seen and heard. Mindfulness practices are integrated into sessions to help you become aware of what you are truly feeling and help shift you from a negative state- emotions, thoughts, or physical pain.

Asking someone for help can feel very uncomfortable and maybe even a bit scary. These feelings are very human. We are not meant to be alone and to do things alone and that is why healthy connections can raise our resilience. In therapy you need to feel safe and connected to your therapist for the healing to begin. Once you feel grounded in the therapeutic relationship, the exploration and learning will start.

It’s not easy being human, and given the additional uncertainty, unease, and stress these past few years, it sure hasn’t gotten any easier. So whether you're feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, stuck, lost, or are struggling in your relationships, including the one with yourself, looking for help makes a lot of sense. Mindset shifts, tools for coping, and emotional support are the heart of what therapy can provide, not to mention simply having a safe space to talk to someone about what you're going through.

You are so over it—the mental anguish, the emotional distress, the sleepless nights, the loneliness. All you want is to be happy, but sometimes it feels like the powers that be are conspiring against you. You’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. You feel sick, tired, and burned out, but deep down you know there has to be another way. You've reached a crossroad that has opened up a willingness to do something different - something you haven't tried before or perhaps something you never really went all in with before now. This is your chance to do something different to enhance the quality of your life and relationships.
