Counselor Greetings

My name is Jenn and thank you for your interest in Dóchas Mindful Counseling. When we make the choice to come to therapy, it is a choice to start to work with our own experiences, past and present, so that we can move forward and create a compassionate home within ourselves where we can heal, grow, and live a life aligned with our highest values. My therapeutic style includes patience, respect, client-driven care, and interventions that are tailored to the needs of the Client and presentation of the moment.

I graduated from Villanova University in 2000 with a Bachelors Degree in Secondary English Education, and spent my early career as a middle school teacher. I became a yoga teacher in 2008 and am credentialed at the E-RYT 500, YACEP level. Specialized yoga trainings include the following: Yoga Nidra (Levels I and II), Yin Yoga, Anusara/Alignment Based Practices, Power/Vinyasa Practices, Restorative Practices, and Prenatal Yoga. I completed training in 2022 to be an Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist (AYS), and am also a Reiki Practitioner trained at Levels I and II.

I completed my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (concentration in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Psychology) at Naropa University in December of 2023, and am currently Credentialed at the LAC (Licensed Addiction Counselor) and LPCC level (Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate) levels. I have Clinical experience working in Addiction and Recovery outpatient treatment in individual and group settings. I also have experience working with individuals experiencing mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma work, and building/re-building life skills.
