Jenny Coffey, MA, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist |
Walking through life with people is probably one of the most intimate experiences we can have on this side of Heaven. For me, to be invited into people's stories and experiences is an honor I never tire of. A great mentor of mine once told me that a true master therapist is a clinician who has the educational training and the life experience to both know where you've been and how to guide you to where you are going. I view therapy as a collaborative experience between the clinician and the client. You are the expert on your own life. I am merely a part of the process. I enjoy all facets of the therapeutic experience: listening, joining, challenging and forming bonds with my clients. If it aligns with my clients needs I do incorporate Christian values and faith into our sessions as well. With close to 10 years of experience as a therapist I have enjoyed narrowing down my areas of expertise and look forward to our journey together.

Meet KC

I have been blessed to have one of those faces that seems to set people at ease. For this reason, I am seeking a Masters Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy so I can best respond to the stories that come my way. It is my goal to walk beside you as you move toward healing and wholeness. My worldview is grounded in my faith, so when it is appropriate, spirituality will be weaved into the healing process. I believe we are highly impacted and shaped by our relationships, and understanding where you come from helps to get you where you want to go.
As a veterans wife for 15 years of active duty, I also have a heart for those families impacted by military life. We have navigated deployments where I was alone raising our children--often in a new community with very little support. We know the challenges of keeping our marriage strong while across the world from one another and the difficult times of reintegration. We are also an intercultural/inter-ethnic family. Together we’ve had to navigate marriage with very different upbringings and thought processes. |

There is no person you wouldn’t love if you knew their story. This is one of my guiding principles in life, especially in my work as a counselor. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, laid-back environment where you can share your story and find ways to heal and attain change. I believe that clients make significant change when they understand what led to the development of their problems and the factors that maintain current symptoms. Together we will address unhelpful thought patterns developed in your past and present behaviors to create sustainable strategies and hope for the future. I work from a trauma informed perspective, and often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients meet their goals.

Every person is unique and I desire to use a tailor-made approach supported by evidence based practices for each individual client. I also offer faith integrative counseling if that fits your values and needs. I look forward to working with you as a team to help you reach your goals!

Meet Yvonne

Our relationships with ourselves and others shape our entire human experience. I know you are capable of maintaining dynamic, nurturing, and loving connections with the partners in your life, and I am here to guide you in the journey of attaining that. My passion is helping individuals, couples, and families thrive in their relationships in a safe, neutral therapy setting. This setting allows for open communication, no judgment, and space to be heard.
I hold a graduate certificate in contemporary theory in couples and family systems; a certificate in assessing and teaching nurturing skills to parents and children; and I am currently obtaining my masters in marriage and family therapy. Each family unit, each relationship, and each individual is unique, and I will be a partner in helping to navigate those unique and tough relational issues. My ultimate goal is to increase the wellness of every individual I encounter in my sessions by providing tools that lead to positive, functional relationships. |

Meet Dena
Dena Smith
Master's Degree Student in Marriage and Family Therapy |
As a therapist, I work to help you identify your goals, become empowered, and challenged to make positive changes in your life. I understand that making the decision to seek help can be difficult so I use an approach that is compassionate, direct, and non-judgmental to help create an environment where you feel supported in your counseling journey.
I help my clients--who include adults, couples, and families--to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships. My educational background includes a BS in Human Services with a specialization in Child and Family Welfare and a MS in Criminal Justice. Currently, I'm working on a MA in Marriage and Family Therapy. |
