Jennifer Wagner LICSW

I am flexible, laid back, and non-judgmental. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their life experiences. I am here to join your journey to finding the balance you are looking for instead of dictating how to make improvements in your life.

Collaborating with clients to individualize treatment approach and goals in a relaxed, non-judgmental way is what I find to be most effective for being successful. I incorporate a combination of approaches (systems, CBT, strengths-based, brief solution focused, mindfulness) in order to best suit my client's needs. I am excited to go on this journey with you!

Our first session together will involve us learning about each other. I will gather information about your history and experiences that bring you to therapy. I am also open to any questions a client has for me. If I am working with a child, then we may engage in an activity to build rapport.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with almost 20 years of experience. I enjoy assisting others in problem solving, navigating anxieties, finding a realistic life balance, and finding their assertive voice and boundaries. My professional experience has been with a diverse population of individuals of all ages including children/adolescents, families, and adults across different settings including community agencies, hospitals, military installations, and private practice. I worked with children and families with Medicaid in their homes and schools for about 15 yrs, provided military support counseling at the Great Lakes Naval Station, provided therapy in a private practice setting, as well as assess and place individuals in the ER needed inpatient psychiatric services and/or resources. I have also attended school meetings helping client's obtain IEPs and 504 Plans.
