Jena Skelton, Director of Operations, LSW
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Licensed therapist helping motivated adults create real, lasting change.
Introduction
Something isn’t sitting right anymore — in your anxiety, your relationships, or just the way you’ve been feeling about your own life. You’re not in crisis. You’re just ready for things to actually be different. That’s exactly the kind of work I love to do.
My Approach
I’m a conversational therapist, meaning I want you to lead the session with what’s actually happening in your mind and your life — and I’ll follow your lead. I won’t hesitate to share my honest thoughts or challenge a perspective, but the decisions and the direction are always yours to make.
I especially love working with motivated adults ready to make small, sustainable changes in the parts of their life that don’t feel right anymore — people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a life transition, who are willing to sit with their thoughts and talk it through.
After a first session, I want you to feel lighter, encouraged, and one step closer to feeling like yourself again. I believe change is hard, but always possible, and no struggle is too big or too small to work on. I think of therapy as a partnership: we both have to show up, trust each other, and choose this process together for it to actually work.
As I tell my clients, therapy is a vulnerable process. It isn’t always fun. But it’s always worth it.
If you’re ready to show up for yourself, I’ll be right there with you.
