Jenifer Pierpont-Johns LMSW
A Safe Space for Real Conversations
Hi! I'm Jenifer, and I'm here to support you toward meaningful change!
I offer a supportive space where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences and work toward meaningful change. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, honoring each client's unique story and resilience.
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, mindfulness, and elements of somatic therapy to support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, self-esteem challenges, and stress. I currently work with adolescents in a residential setting and am a certified trainer in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Families (TCI-F).
My diverse background in human services, education, and the corporate world brings a broad perspective to my work. As a parent of two teenagers, I understand the complexities of life's demands and am committed to helping clients build skills, confidence, and emotional well-being.
Whether you're navigating difficult transitions, processing trauma, or simply seeking to build greater resilience, I'm here to walk alongside you with understanding, practical tools, and genuine support.

What We Do
We offer person-centered, trauma-informed therapy that honors each client's unique story and resilience. With a diverse background spanning human services, education, and the corporate world, I bring a broad, practical perspective to supporting individuals and families through life's challenges.
We provide specialized support for anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, self-esteem challenges, and stress management. Working primarily with adolescents and families, including in residential settings, I understand the complexities that young people and their families face in today's world.
Through an integrated approach combining CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic therapy elements, we create personalized treatment that builds real skills and confidence. As a certified trainer in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Families (TCI-F) and a parent of teenagers myself, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to our work together.
Why We Do It
We believe that everyone has inherent resilience and deserves a safe space to explore their experiences and work toward meaningful change.
Having worked across diverse settings, from residential treatment to corporate environments, I've seen how essential it is to honor each person's unique story while providing practical, evidence-based support. My work with adolescents has shown me the transformative power of creating a truly safe space where young people feel heard and empowered.
As a parent of two teenagers, I understand firsthand the complexities of life's demands and the importance of building skills that last beyond the therapy room. My commitment is to help you develop the confidence, emotional well-being, and resilience needed to navigate whatever challenges life brings your way.
