Marcy Irene Jenks (she/they)
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, RN, NCC, LPC, LMHC
Throughout our lifetime, things continue to shift and change; it's inevitable. Sometimes with these changes comes feelings of confusion, fear, anger, grief, and resentment, and choice-making can be difficult. Working with a counselor can be supportive as we navigate our mental health and wellness during these everchanging times. Finding a therapist that feels 'just right' is an important piece of the counseling journey. Let's schedule a free consultation to meet one another and explore the possibility of working together. I can be a support to those navigating challenging changes related to grief, loss, low self-esteem, life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma.

- Hakomi Method A mindfulness-based approach that helps clients notice unconscious patterns in their body and mind. It emphasizes compassion and non-judgment.

My practice includes starting from a place of compassion, understanding and curiosity. I believe we can all benefit from counseling, and use a mindful, experiential, somatic and relational approach to this work, which encourages all parts of the self to arrive.
