Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Peace and Balance Counseling

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Will I ever feel like myself again? It can feel as though a part of you has vanished, leaving behind an emptiness nothing seems to ease. Life feels muted; colors less vivid, joy just out of reach. Some days, you hardly recognize the person you’ve become. You want to move forward, yet every step feels heavy and uncertain. When you think about the future, it often appears distant and dark, leaving you wondering how life reached this point. Therapy with me offers a safe, supportive space to untangle the layers of your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I provide a compassionate environment where you can openly explore anxiety, depression, and the challenges weighing on you. Even if you feel trapped by your current circumstances, it is possible to find clarity, direction, and a sense of freedom through working with a professional. Will happiness return? Yes. Counseling can help you reconnect with who you want to be and how you want to feel. This is your opportunity to make a change and step away from the life that has been holding you down. Take the step you’ve been postponing and reconnect with your confident, joyful self. I’m here to help when you’re ready. Reach out today to begin.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I specialize in working with individuals (children, teens and adults) and couples, and I am incredibly passionate about the work I do and the people with whom I have the honor to work. My areas of expertise are anxiety / stress, relationship challenges, conflict resolution, intrusive negative thoughts and patterns, loss/grief and depression. Most clients and couples choose to work with me because they are looking for nontraditional therapy that provides them with concrete skills to improve their everyday lives and/or address specific concerns. Holistic and integrative in my approach, I believe that there is no "one size fits all" in therapy. Therefore, I uniquely tailor therapy sessions to meet each client's needs and goals. With extensive experience and training in results oriented and solutions focused cognitive therapies, positive psychology, mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, Gottman Method for Couples, meditation, and yoga, I offer creative approaches that result in meaningful change and growth. Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion. I am happy to offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see how I can best support you! Why wait tomorrow when you can start today? Please reach out to schedule your free consultation on my calendar: https://calendly.com/jenna-sackman/phone-consultation
