Great to meet you!

I am Jennifer Garross a Licensed

Clinical Social Worker. I have been

working in the mental health field for

over 25 yrs. We must care for our

brain health as we do our physical

health as they are strongly

interconnected. After reading the

research done on self compassion

and mindfulness, I feel passionate about these practices as I feel these are the foundation to the health of our brain and body. I will work side by side with you to work through the barriers that may be blocking your way.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is client driven and I tailor the therapy approach to meet their needs. I primarily use CBT, Solution Focus, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness.

What you can expect from our first session

The first session we will set goals of what you want to gain from therapy and will work toward accomplishing those goals. I try to create a safe and comfortable space for you to be able to work on your goals and allow you to be vulnerable to work through the issues that brought you to therapy.
