JENNIFER O’DONNELL MA, LPC, NCC
“ I see counseling as a safe and therapeutic relationship. My approach is a blend of both clinical and alternative therapies designed to meet the needs of each individual. The goal is for you to gain insight and clarity into your thoughts and feelings in a supportive and encouraging relationship as we uncover new paths to your personal healing and transformation. I believe we all carry inner wisdom, and when we start quieting our minds and listening to our bodies the wisdom can then be heard.”
