Jennifer Haugland

MS, LMHC, LPC/MHSP

Let's face it: Life is hard. But how we respond to it is what makes the difference. It's how many times we get back up and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

I would love to come along side you and journey with you to discover how to be an over-comer....

LMHC

My name is Josh and I have been interested in counseling and psychology since I was 12 years old.

Truly, the process of talk therapy is nothing more than spending time with someone who cares and can offer clarity, hope, and unconditional acceptance when we feel l...
