Do you often feel like the scapegoat or the one in your family or friend group upon whom everyone leans for support? Do you feel in tune with the needs of those around you but your needs often feel unseen or ignored? Have you always felt older than your current age or were told you are an old soul? Do you feel like it is often easier to do things by yourself than ask for help? Do you feel like you know a lot of people but very few people know the true you?

Even though we have a desire to feel more fulfilled in our lives, it can be overwhelming to face the fear of letting go of what is painful yet familiar. The invitation is to lean into trusting the unknown and discovering more of the precious being you really are.

My name is Jeannine and I am the director of Inner Truth Counseling. We are so glad you are here.

As you come into therapy with the strong desire to change, it can be difficult sometimes.

In our work together, I will hold the space for all seeming contradictions and paradoxes. These often show up on our path as an invitation to dialogue between seemingly opposing parts of ourselves and discover a new truth that wants to be birthed in your life.

At Inner Truth Counseling, we see the therapy space as both a sacred space and as a safe space for play, creativity and trying new things. In our sessions, all parts of you are welcome to come and play and perhaps learn new ways to express your creativity. (Yes, you are creative, whether you know it or not!).

I will hold the space as a compassionate guide for you to rest into your own self-reflection. We will collaborate to help you find your unique path to healing and wholeness. Our approach at Inner Truth Counseling is based on cultivating awareness of the whole self (mind/body/soul) as a way to come into more alignment with all parts of your being. From this embodied place, you can experience more freedom of choice, feeling of purpose and sense of agency in your life.

I use an integrated approach, influenced by my training in and experience with: somatic psychotherapy, current attachment theory, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting (L1), authentic movement, art medicine, music/sound healing and mindfulness practices.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), a Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist (BC-DMT) and a Certified Graduate-Level Movement Analyst (GL-CMA). I also completed the Advanced Facilitator Training in Authentic Movement with Zoe Avstreih.

For the first part of my career, I worked as a dance/movement therapist leading groups in a variety of settings, including social service agencies and hospitals. I served adults, seniors and adolescents with issues such as depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, eating disorders, developmental disabilities and brain injuries. I have worked and danced with individuals from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds and have been transformed through doing so. In my private practice, I especially love working with those who feel they are on a growth path, empaths, artists, healers and anyone who feels misunderstood.
