Jennifer is an extremely great therapist. She quickly understood all my primary concerns and was able to provide multiple ways for me to handle my situations. She is always thoughtful and encouraging. Every week she helps me set goals and helps me create the tools I need to accomplish them.

She introduced me for a new strategies to deal with my issues. She listens, understands and asks the right question. She let me figure out the suitable solution for my case. Indeed, she is straightforward and thoughtful. After the third session I almost told her “girl you know me already”.

Jennifer has been very supportive and listens to every problem or concern I have. I've also noticed that (while not sharing her own life story) she is able to provide me examples of personal experience without negating my own struggles. I have spoken to a few people in the past about my struggles and this is a rare quality. Her ability to balance sympathy and empathy over a messaging system while remaining eloquent yet simple in her recommendations is comforting. I have already recommended Pride Counseling to more than one friend and am quite thankful for what I have received from this service. I feel as though I have benefited greatly over the last few months. Thank you Jennifer.
