Are you stuck in negative and unproductive patterns? Are you looking to seriously improve your life or your communication within your family, your significant other or spouse? Are you willing to do something different? If so, lets talk. I am an integrative and holistic therapist. I work collaboratively with individuals and couples, treating the complete person: mind, body, heart and spirit, for total wellness and better relationships.
I am finally fulfilling my own personal and mythic destiny to be a counselor for individuals wanting to find their own purpose by resolving what has stopped them along their life path. I bring a depth and wealth of academic, professional and real world experiences and education to my clients.
I’m Sonya Jensen, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist and Sex Therapist. I have extensive post-graduate training and experience working with couples through their most difficult times. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and backed by research. In addition to giving couples clear guidance and tools, I’m passionate about bringing genuine warmth and heart to our work together.
My goal is to help you uncover and shed these labels, to learn self compassion, find your voice and power in authenticity. We will also build skills to regulate distressing emotions. Emotional regulation is an often overlooked cornerstone of mental health - we need to feel emotions but often are not taught how, which can make feelings seem overwhelming.
I'm not your ordinary therapist. I have 24 + years of experience as a therapist, plus I have the life experience of a wife of 43 years, mother of two, and grandmother of four. I am the therapist that people come in and say, "Wow, you helped me more in one session than I got out of years with several other therapists." I am fun, direct, empathetic, but direct so that you can have the results you are looking for in a short amount of time. I love what I do, so it's not work to me. I'm very interactive in sessions so there won't be many times where I just sit there and don't provide feedback. I'm the type of therapist that will call you out on your stuff so I can help you meet your goals and have better relationships with others. I love talking with potential clients to see if I'm a good fit. After a phone call with me you will be able to get a sense if I'm a good fit for you. Please give me a call and let's chat!
It brings me so much joy to witness others' successes and it is truly fulfilling to me to be your guide on your journey of healing. I have been in the mental health field for over 7 years, supporting individuals and couples experiencing difficulty and dissonance in their lives, and ultimately leading them towards clarity and truth.
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor MA, LPC
I am here to join you on the journey of your life. I’m trained in multiple therapies (like CBT and DBT) that will assist us in identify the thoughts and patterns that are not working to get you where you want to be. When we can change a situation together, we will. When we can’t, we’ll find a way to look at it differently. Sometimes a small shift in perspective can change your entire life. I became a therapist because I have a passion for helping you see the wonder in yourself. I believe in you and I am here to support you by addressing the challenges you encounter. I’m excited to work with you to discover what life is doing for you. My gift is helping you see new perspectives, rewrite your life narrative, and discover self-awareness.
I'm here to provide support, understanding, education, and professional guidance as we process your thoughts and emotions together, enhance your self-awareness, and use of your inner strengths so you are able to grow into the best version of yourself.
Is stress piling on at home and work? Are you tired of anxious thoughts stealing your confidence? Maybe depression is weighing you down and holding you back. Are your relationships a source of conflict and angst instead of joy? If you answered yes, then it's time to start living your best life. Many exciting opportunities and life transitions can lead to an increase in anxiety or stress about how to adapt to new circumstances. Sometimes people simply feel like they need some extra support from time to time. Counseling isn't just for those who are struggling with mental illness. “Talk therapy” or counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental place to talk about your relationships, circumstances and experiences, to explore and expand your options, and to develop better skills to manage various life challenges. I enjoy working with clients who are ready to create change - or learn how to best respond to change - in their lives and their relationships. Contact me today to schedule your free, no pressure, 15-minute phone consultation to talk about how we can work together to make life good!
