Jennifer Schlageter

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges. Whether facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family conflicts, or other emotional and behavioral concerns, I provide a supportive space where clients and families can feel seen, understood, and empowered. I am deeply passionate about helping clients move toward healing, resilience, and meaningful personal growth.

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and person-centered, recognizing that every client brings unique strengths, life experiences, and goals to the counseling process. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions openly, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want to create.

My work is grounded in evidence-based practices, beginning with a person-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and collaboration while honoring you as the expert on your life. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build and strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Together, we'll develop an approach to meet your unique needs and goals, helping you gain practical tools, deepen self-understanding, and build lasting resilience as you navigate life's challenges.

I prioritize building strong, trusting therapeutic relationships and meeting clients exactly where they are. My goal is to make therapy feel approachable and supportive while working alongside my clients at a pace that feels right for each individual. Through compassion, connection, and individualized care, I strive to help clients navigate challenges and create lasting, positive change in their lives.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time at the beach, visiting aquariums and zoos, and making meaningful memories with my family. I also value self-care and believe that taking time to recharge and maintain balance is an important part of overall well-being.
