Jennifer has been very supportive and listens to every problem or concern I have. I've also noticed that (while not sharing her own life story) she is able to provide me examples of personal experience without negating my own struggles. I have spoken to a few people in the past about my struggles and this is a rare quality. Her ability to balance sympathy and empathy over a messaging system while remaining eloquent yet simple in her recommendations is comforting. I have already recommended Pride Counseling to more than one friend and am quite thankful for what I have received from this service. I feel as though I have benefited greatly over the last few months. Thank you Jennifer.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Behavior Specialist In Pennsylvania working with children, parents, adults and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, ODD, behavioral problems, parenting difficulties, career goals and self-esteem. I also helped others who have experienced emotional and physical abuse throughout their life.
My counseling style is straightforward, interactive and individualized. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to grow towards their greatest potential and this is something that we will work together to achieve. I also believe that everyone should be treated with a trauma informed response as well as respect, compassion and without stigmatizing labels. My approach combines, cognitive-behavioral therapist, applied behavioral analysis, acceptance and commitment therapy as well as mindfulness. Uses this approaches help as a guideline to work with each individual client and create an individualized plan to meet your unique needs.
It takes a great deal of strength and courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life as well as taking steps to request assistance in doing so. I look forward to helping you take the next steps.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She introduced me for a new strategies to deal with my issues. She listens, understands and asks the right question. She let me figure out the suitable solution for my case. Indeed, she is straightforward and thoughtful. After the third session I almost told her “girl you know me already”.
