Life gets messy, and we can wade through the mess together.

I am currently taking clients at Community Counseling Associates in Fair Oaks, California as a Trainee Marriage and Family Therapist. I approach therapy with an attitude that therapy shouldn’t come full of shame and blame. My hope is to make everyone feel comfortable and accepted as we go through the growth and change it takes to thrive.

In counseling, I apply various approaches most appropriate for my clients and their goals. These may include CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and Art Therapy as well. In reality, what I provide is helping people (from children to entire families) thrive from where they are. Families work as their own organism, so coming together to learn how everyone can support and communicate effectively and healthily with each other, is a beautiful (even if sometimes messy) process.

A bit about me personally, I am a divorced mom of two kids. One of my children is a cancer survivor, and the other is a survivor of those effects. Being a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is a second career for me. I spent the first half of my career working in nonprofit program management and social work. As a MFT trainee, I use my education, life and therapeutic experience to support my clients however they need to grow.

I charge a flat fee of $90 for 50 minutes session. I do not take insurance at this time. You can reach out to ask questions or book an appointment at 916-546-5088 or counseling@jenarmitage.com.
