Counseling Services of Dr. Jennifer Ballerini, Clinical Psychologist & EFT Couple Therapist

ABOUT THERAPY

People seek counseling for many reasons. You may need support managing anxiety and stress, overcoming depression, building healthier relationships, learning to talk about your feelings and needs, or healing from a painful personal history. I believe that we all have the capacity to heal and reach our goals — and that the right support can make all the difference in getting there. If you're interested in this kind of personal growth and self-exploration, I would love to help.

Good therapy can be a life-changing experience. In twenty years of clinical practice, I've seen how counseling can lead to deep healing and lasting changes in our relationships with ourselves and with others. I love the process of getting to know each of my clients as individuals and learning how to give each of them the unique support and feedback they need to learn, heal, and grow. I feel privileged to be with them on their journeys of personal growth, accompanying their heartaches and cheering their successes on the way.

IN-PERSON & ONLINE OPTIONS

I offer both in-person and video sessions to my clients. Some of my clients find that they really prefer the safety and warmth of in-person sessions, while others find the flexibility and convenience of video sessions to be a game-changer in their busy lives. Numerous studies have shown “telehealth” to be equally effective as in-person therapy. Based on my real-world experience with clients, I've found that the studies are right — my clients and I have consistently been able to connect and do meaningful work together online. Whether you come to my office or meet with me on Zoom, know that I will make the same effort to know and connect with you, and to build the warm and safe relationship that's the foundation of all good therapy.
