Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm JeLyn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with children, teens, and adults who may be struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, grief, emotional regulation, or behavioral challenges. Regarding children, I understand that they often communicate and process emotions differently than adults. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or are a parent worried about your child, I want therapy to be a place where you feel understood, supported, and able to make meaningful changes. I am licensed in Idaho. I am accepting new clients and can offer a free 15-minute consultation.

My approach to therapy

I tailor therapy to each person's needs, drawing from EMDR, play therapy, CBT, DBT, and other approaches. With children, I use play and creative interventions to help them express and work through things that can be difficult to put into words.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my priority is creating a warm, judgment-free space to get to know each other. We will talk about what brings you in, explore your goals, and begin building a strong foundation of trust. Healing is a journey, and you don't have to walk it alone. Reach out today to schedule an appointment and take that first step!
