Hello! Thank you for taking the brave step in moving forward in your journey of healing. I hope to provide a space for you to process, explore, and find relief with the thoughts and feelings that have led you to seek support.
My journey toward becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor was significantly influenced by my graduate program at Rollins College, as well as by my undergraduate years at the University of Florida. Working with emerging adults, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community, affords me the opportunity to channel my life experiences into empathy for my clients. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I recognize that mental health and well-being are informed by having the confidence and courage to live as one's authentic self. I strive to help my clients do this within the framework of the identities they hold and experiences they've had.
I'm a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience working with adults. I earned my Master's in Counseling from Liberty University. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, and supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed or put a lot of pressure on themselves to hold everything together. My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, and I see therapy as a partnership focused on creating meaningful, practical change.
I offer SPECIALIZED, INDIVIDUALIZED, AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT for anxiety/depression and related issues. You will learn "anxiety/depression hacks" that can help you get immediate relief while working on long term change. You should leave your sessions feeling heard, supported, and closer to reaching your goals. You will be working with a skilled and open minded therapist, in relaxed warm, casual, sessions.
Jennifer Hale is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of healthcare experience. This , in addition to life experience, provides a strong understanding of the connection between physical health, emotional health, stress, trauma and overall functioning. I enjoy working with neurodivergent populations because of personal experience. Neurodivergence offers creativity, sensitivity and unique perspectives.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with over nine years of
experience helping individuals navigate life’s emotional challenges. I have
supported clients through a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression,
stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. I
also have specialized experience working with mothers navigating postpartum
depression, anxiety, and the emotional adjustments that come with pregnancy
and early parenthood. My work includes providing therapy in homes,
community settings, and virtually—meeting clients where they feel most
supported.
I believe you are the expert of your own story, and your God-given
strengths—whether fully realized or still emerging—can guide your healing
journey. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy, faith, and
respect. Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I commend you
for choosing healing. You do not have to walk this road alone.
