Getting to know Jennifer Kepler

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I treat Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions, and Stress Management. I am also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) with experience supporting teens and adults who struggle with Alcoholism or self-medicate through alcohol abuse. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and hold a Bachelor's degree from Lake Forest College. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each person's individual needs. I often use Person-Centered Therapy, focusing on exploring each client's unique experiences and how these have shaped their view of life and themselves. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand how their thoughts influence their behavior. For those who are able and willing, I incorporate Psychodynamic Therapy, which explores how past experiences shape current life circumstances. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, teens, and adults in a variety of treatment settings. I typically enjoy working with people who are open to changing aspects of their lives to feel more content. Teens and young adults struggling to find their life path especially intrigue me. I understand that starting therapy can be stressful. I strive to ease this by communicating empathy, respect, and a non-judgmental attitude in every session. I also emphasize that issues can be shared at a pace that feels comfortable. From an early age, I have been a calm, reliable source of support for those around me. I am often told I listen well and demonstrate a patient, warm attitude. I am genuinely interested in helping people identify their obstacles and find ways to reduce their intensity and frequency. Goal setting is an important discussion that I find most helpful to have early in therapy to guide our work together.
