Getting to know Jen Wells
Do you want to better yourself and your life but are not quite sure where to start? Do you miss the spontaneity and thrill of romance early in your relationship? You have come to the right place!
I graduated from the University of Miami with a Master of Social Work degree and a minor in Spanish. I am dually and independently licensed in mental health (Licensed Independent Social Worker-Supervisor or LISW-S) and substance abuse (Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor).
I am passionate about helping individuals and families overcome life's challenges and achieve their goals. With 6 years of experience in social work, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities of human behavior and the impact that social, emotional, and environmental factors can have on our lives. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a deep respect for each individual's unique experiences and perspectives. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and I am committed to helping you tap into your inner strengths and resources to achieve your full potential.
I specialize in trauma, addiction, sex, gender, and sexuality concerns. I understand these areas can be particularly challenging to navigate, and I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their experiences and work toward healing and growth.
In my work with addiction, I utilize a holistic approach that addresses the underlying emotional, psychological, and social factors contributing to substance use. Together, we will develop coping skills, build support networks, and cultivate a sense of self-worth and purpose to help you maintain sobriety and achieve your goals.
Trauma can have a profound impact on our lives, and I am dedicated to helping my clients heal from the effects of past experiences. I utilize evidence-based practices such as EMDR and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help process trauma and foster recovery.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In your first session, we will assess your current needs and begin to develop a plan to achieve the goals we develop together. We will work on building trust and establishing a safe environment with therapeutic communication and rapport with one another. It may take time to get comfortable working together, but I promise to make the process simple and less overwhelming.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
