“I had known my whole life I was different from others. After psychological testing, Jennifer was able to help me understand myself through the lens of this new diagnosis. It all began to make sense. I no longer felt suicidal or that something was wrong with me. I learned to work with what makes me feel safe instead!”

Getting to know Jennifer Burgess

*I also accept Ascension (Smart Health) Do you feel trapped and frustrated by repetitive thoughts and emotions - rehashing the past, striving to do everything right, or constantly worried about the future? Do interactions with others leave you feeling irritated, disconnected, and unfulfilled? Maybe your mind feels foggy, making it difficult to focus. You may feel off, not quite like yourself anymore, and you can't explain why. It's unsettling, and part of you may worry that it's always going to feel this way. The truth is, it rarely gets better on its own, but it doesn’t have to stay this way. These feelings are signals, not flaws—and they often trace back to unresolved stress or trauma held in the body and mind. I help people struggling with stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Some specific issues I have worked with are depression, anxiety, addiction, OCD, phobias, panic attacks, narcissistic abuse, unbalanced relationships, eating disorders, procrastination, performance enhancement, and much more. Start feeling like yourself again, I’m here to help. Click to schedule your consultation. I offer faith-based counseling and dream interpretation guidance upon request.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I DO NOT PRESCRIBE MEDICATION. It’s okay to admit that things aren’t right. What you’re experiencing is real, and you don’t have to face it alone. Let’s take the first step together. If you're ready to start feeling like yourself again, I’m here to help. For clients who choose private pay, we’re often able to make faster progress with the flexibility of 90-minute sessions. These extended sessions allow us to move through the process more efficiently, often completing key work in a single visit rather than spreading it across weeks. While 90-minute sessions are ideal for maximizing results, 60-minute sessions remain highly effective for those using insurance. I offer limited private pay intensives that are focused, efficient, and tailored to your goals. Intensives include 2 or more back-to-back sessions for busy professionals with limited time who want to make significant progress in a short period. If you'd prefer the flexibility of private pay, we can transition from insurance billing at any time. Please note, however, that once we make this shift, we cannot revert back to insurance billing.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I help people that are overwhelmed. From the "little" things to the big things in life; we resolve them, so they can finally relax and have peace about their situation. With therapeutic techniques, also used by the VA and World Health Organization, I help guide people to their place of freedom. We go at their pace, as fast or as slow as they want to go. If they come in ready to go, we can often resolve a great deal in 90 minutes. If they don't want to talk about their situation, they don't have to and they can still be helped just as much. It's ideal for PTSD and those with sensitive topics they need to address. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART for short. A picture is worth 1000 words. ART works with how you perceive images, patterns, and perspectives - uncovering insights about how you see yourself and the world around you. It's accelerated because it takes the best parts of all the therapies and combines them into one, making it one of the most time-saving and powerfully effective therapies out there today. The last thing people need when they're stressed is less time and money. Therapy offers a space to give yourself undivided attention and heal what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work to reconnect you with a sense of clarity, calm, and confidence—so you can feel more like yourself again.

    I had known my whole life I was different from others. After psychological testing, Jennifer was able to help me understand myself through the lens of this new diagnosis. It all began to make sense. I no longer felt suicidal or that something was wrong with me. I learned to work with what makes me feel safe instead!
    One session with Jennifer made more changes to my brain and past trauma than 6 months and thousands of dollars spent on a popular brain training program. She is a master.
    I had a muddled memory of a certain incident from my past that, for some reason, had haunted me my entire life. We took that little bit that I did remember and created some sort of resolve. I have now moved on with my life in confidence and peace.
    No one has ever helped me get to the foot of the trauma like this . I have had a lot of caring skills thrown at me, but less of those coping skills are needed since I'm not getting & triggered as much. This is worth the work!!!
    Jennifer helped me resolve the extreme guilt that I had about raising my son as an alcoholic and him taking his own life. I now see things from a much more helpful perspective. I don’t have to punish myself anymore.
    Jennifer helped greatly improve communication with my husband. It is leaps and bounds above what it was. He actually listens to me now without being defensive. We feel like our relationship has hit a new level.
    She was able to quickly diagnose my husband’s Personality Disorder and help me plan how to navigate this complicated relationship of 20 years. She helped me see his emotional neglect and abuse that had become normal to me. I’m not yet where I want to be, but she challenged my thinking on what a healthy relationship should look like. I am definitely moving in the right direction.
    I must say, I was quite hesitant to get help in the therapy world, but I was pleasantly surprised with her warm & friendly demeanor, calming voice, and how I felt at ease fairly quickly. Jennifer was able to help my family get onto the same page and moving in the same direction after a 10-year standoff. In addition, she was able to calm & resolve some things I didn’t even realize could get better. She has a real gift in finding the underlying cause for day-to-day stress. Forever grateful!!
    Jennifer was able to get to the root of my hoarding tendencies. She traced it back to one event and worked with me to resolve my need to fill all the space around me to feel safe. Throwing things away no longer brings up the fear that was once inside of me.
    I had been having the same military flashback daily for 20+ years. In 1 session, Jennifer was able to completely clear it up. I now have a peace and calm about it. The memory no longer gets in the way of my daily life. I have been able to move on while still feeling that I honor those left behind.
    Jennifer is profoundly insightful. She was able to help me get clarity about writing my book, creating a title, and even the cover design. I owe a lot to my brief time with her.
