About me
Welcome! My name is Jennifer and I am a licensed professional counselor and certified rehabilitation counselor.
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS (MY TIME) ARE CHAT ONLY. OTHER HOURS ARE OPEN FOR ALL MODALITIES.
Eight years in the mental health field has exposed me to many wonderful people in a variety of settings. My professional experience began in residential group homes and then out-patient care. I have most experience working with people who have anxiety, depression, complex trauma, schizophrenia, and intellectual disabilities. For the past nine years, I have volunteered as a mentor for people who are incarcerated through a national Bible study outreach program.
Perhaps the most important lesson I have learned is that, each person already possesses gifts and talents to overcome even the bleakest circumstance. My passion is to help you uncover the emotional gifts that may have been buried under the corrosion of negativity. This lesson drives me to learn more about each person I am fortunate to meet. I strive to always provide a supportive environment as we work together. At times, I will ask difficult questions that are designed to spur your growth and development to the next level.
I know there is a great need for LGBTQ counselors. However, I do not have training in LGBTQ issues and can't provide treatment as it is outside my scope of practice.
I provide worksheets and information sheets throughout out our time together to help you learn more about anxiety, depression, and emotional well-being. These also help you discover more about yourself. They are part of our therapeutic work together, take a relatively short amount of time to answer, provide meaningful information, and are at no extra cost to you. I do expect the worksheets to be completed.
This world is rapidly changing, and this can become overwhelming for many. I believe in planning for tomorrow but celebrating victories and examining defeats on a day by day basis. We can work through emotions, concerns, and often discover root causes to break the power they hold over you.
My role as therapist, is to guide and walk with you along your pathway. Using your values and your priorities as the roadmap to YOUR success. My primary approach is a client-centered approach with motivational, CBT and/or EMDR incorporated. I always tailor the treatment to your needs. These are your sessions; I will use my training and experience to help guide you along your journey. Each discussion will promote development of the terrific qualities you already possess in order to help you flourish! Any time you have questions in general or the about the process, please let me know.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jennifer Terry. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Faithful Counseling might be different.
Jennifer has been really great at understanding my difficulties. My time with her has been very helpful.
I really appreciate my time with Jennifer. She listens and pays attention to what I say. Her advice and worksheets have been encouraging and insightful. I feel that I have been given/taught the tools I need to move forward on my own now, so I consider my time with Jennifer to have been successful and meaningful.
Great experience
Jennifer is very insightful and helpful in helping me uncover areas that I need to grow in. She provides me with the tools I need to improve in self awareness and interacting with others. I'm thankful she is my counsellor.
She has been receptive and knowledgeable and so helpful
