“You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy — you only need a willingness to be curious about what's happening, and what you want to change.”
Free 15-minute consultation for new clients — no obligation.
Jennifer Garris is a licensed therapist who believes care should be individualized — not one-size-fits-all — and should fit effortlessly into your schedule. She holds a Master's in Mental Health Counseling and has worked with children, teens, and adults, using a compassionate, strength-based approach to help clients become the best version of themselves. Together, you'll identify areas for growth and build a treatment plan around your goals.
Jennifer has a particular focus on teens, college students, and young adults navigating school, family expectations, relationships, and the transition into adulthood — including a special focus on siblings of people with disabilities, who often learn to minimize their own needs.
Her approach is warm, strength-based, and practical. Together, you'll build coping skills for anxiety, stress, school, relationships, and life transitions, while learning to find and use your voice. She also draws on inner child work to explore how earlier experiences shape current reactions, and welcomes parents and family members into the process when helpful.
