Rachel Jenks, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor (she, her)
- Work best with: Veterans, Law Enforcement, First Responders, LGBTQ+ Community
- Appointments: Both in-person and telehealth
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and attachment-related challenges. I have experience supporting young patients with PTSD, complex trauma, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and emotional regulation difficulties. I aim to help patients feel safe, understood, and empowered as they build their skills to thrive.
My therapy style is warm, personable, and creative. I strive to make therapy feel like a safe, comfortable space where patients can show up as their most authentic selves. I take a person-centered, strengths-based approach that encourages autonomy and self-trust, while also offering gentle support, insight, guidance, and focus on personal accountability when needed. I also like to utilize humor and focus on the therapeutic relationship between therapist and patient to facilitate growth.
From the very first session, I focus on building trust and connection. I work closely with families to support open communication and collaboration throughout the therapy process. Patients and parents often share that they feel genuinely seen, supported, and encouraged in our work together. I believe healing begins with feeling truly understood, and I strive to create that experience in every session.
