The Wentworth Family
Hello, I'm Jennifer! Welcome to my Practice
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.
I have lived and raised my family in this community for over 20 years. Yelm is a special place in which brings people and community together. My goal is to create a therapeutic space for both clinicians and clients. Our sessions are judgment free, positive and goal-oriented.
I have worked with youth, couples and families for over 15 years to address the behaviors and challenges that can effect individuals, couples, families and their relationships. I have an extensive history assessing and working with clients in emotional crisis, struggling with relationships, clients facing addiction and acute mental illness, including people who have depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, psychosis and mania (bipolar).
As a Marriage and Family Therapist I focus more on the individual and examine how an individual’s behavior affects both the individual and their relationship as a couple, family and/or as a societal member. I have worked with numerous community mental health and substance abuse agencies, private professionals, judicial and legal programs and state/county agencies all working to provide youth, couples and families support and stabilization.
I hold specific certifications in Child Adolescent Needs and Strength (CANS), Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT). I also am credentialed as a Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS) and Mental Health Professional (MHP). I am also credentialed as a Washington Coalition Sexual Assault Program provider (WCSAP).
