Hi! I am Jeri Lea. I have been a clinical social worker specializing in parenting, families with young children, attachment, family transitions, trauma, grief and loss and nervous system support for more than 25 years.
Most importantly, I believe in partnering with my clients and creating safety for us to figure out how to help you (and your children) thrive. I use a mix of "body-up" (sensory and somatic practices, expressive therapies, the Safe & Sound Protocol and Theraplay) and "top-down" (talk therapy, parent education, nervous system education, symbolic play) approaches to therapy, meaning we can support your nervous system and body too! I am a Safe and Sound Protocol practitioner, Registered Raising Kids with BBB facilitator and advanced practitioner and lifelong learner.
I meet you where you are at which requires being ready with lots of tools and approaches but focusing on relationships and safety first. If you like creative expression, homework, no homework, in moment processing, somatic practices, self-compassion... we can do that!
