Jennifer Brum
Clinical Counselors
“I specialize in helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions, and symptoms of trauma (in person appointments and online appointments are available).”
About Me
Approach
I offer my clients a safe, comfortable, and confidential space to gently explore their difficulties at their own pace. I believe in a therapeutic partnership where the client and I work side by side as a team throughout the healing process. Successful therapy leads to healthy regulation, relief from symptoms, increased resilience and the capacity to be fully present in the moment. I empower my clients to move through their obstacles so they can have a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
Along with my general counselling skills I offer Somatic Experiencing techniques that have been proven to be very helpful when working with unresolved trauma. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and have training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
I look forward to supporting you in overcoming the obstacles that keep you from living the best version of yourself.

Are you going about your day pretending everything is ok when in fact you feel like you've never been more alone? Are negative thoughts running through your head all day and keeping you up at night? If symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief and/or trauma are holding you back from living your best life, I can help. I provide clients with the support and skills necessary to stabilize and navigate successfully through therapy.
No matter what your struggle is, don’t let fear stand in the way of a healthier, happier version of you! Together, you and I can create a plan that is gentle, efficient, and effective. Visit my website today and schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation. I look forward to speaking with you!
