Getting to know Jeanna Kovac
I specialize in engaging with individuals who are encountering challenges secondary to life stressors, relational discord, and formalized disorders including PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Panic, OCD, and ADHD.
I take a client-centered and collaborative approach to therapy. I work with clients to tailor each session to the unique needs and goals being presented. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel able to not only be themselves, but to explore the ways in which past events may currently be impacting current thoughts, feelings, and core beliefs. Specific forms of therapy include IFS, CPT, CBT, REBT, PE, and ERP, amongst others.
I have devoted the large majority of my career to assisting individuals work through trauma resulting from various abuses, accidents, and combat trauma. So often, symptoms are co-occurring; as a result, I am adept at working with those who also struggle to manage major depression, anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsive disorders, addictions, etc. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that makes sense, feels empowering, and is achievable.
It is vital within my practice to provide clear, open communication to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. I provide psychoeducation as appropriate and engage in exploratory communication to provide you with the opportunities to reflect on your experiences. I consistently receive feedback from clients who state that I am a "down-to-earth" and genuinely caring provider; maintaining this type of feedback is one of my primary professional goals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Following my undergraduate degree, I worked within the research field, specializing in the assessment of risk and protective factors for substance use and the development of PTSD in vulnerable populations. This work lead to my decision to pursue graduate training as a therapist, in efforts to assist those who have experienced various traumas and mood disorders. I trained and was employed for 16 years with the Veterans Health Administration, working primarily with combat Veterans, survivors of military sexual trauma, and individuals struggling to cope with depression, anxiety, OCD, and other disorders. For two decades, I have concurrently managed a private practice where I treat similar issues, but with civilian populations and LGBTQ+ populations. Providing therapy is my largest passion, outside of being a wife and mother. I consistently receive feedback from clients who state that I am a "down-to-earth" and genuinely caring provider. I look forward to speaking with you to discover how I may best help you achieve your goals!
I fully believe that therapy is a partnership, and I work with clients to establish goals and objectives that directly impact and improve functionality, quality of life, and overall well-being. My role as a therapist is to help you identify your goals and assist in achieving goals through psychodynamic and/or cognitive behavioral processing, provision of supportive therapy, and psychoeducation. As clients meet their objectives, goals often evolve to meet the insights and levels of awareness that have been reached. For some, setting goals and objectives can be a daunting process. Working with clients to identify their values and sources of meaning is often in determining goals, objectives, and our path forward.
