JENNA WITKOWSKI, LCSW-R
I'm an individual embarked on a profound journey of healing. Along the way, I've confronted and overcome challenges stemming from attachment-related and childhood trauma. Utilizing various methods, including therapy, I've diligently worked to mend my nervous system and foster equilibrium within my interpersonal connections.
​
Having traversed this path, I recognize one of my greatest strengths lies in offering companionship as you navigate yours. Continuously, I prioritize the nurturing of my body, mind, and spirit, employing the very techniques I will recommend to you during our shared journey. My conviction in the efficacy of these tools stems from personal experience.
​
In our time together, you can expect unwavering compassion and integrity from me as you cultivate integrity within your own life and embrace self-compassion to navigate life's trials. If this resonates with you, please don't hesitate to reach out to explore commencing our collaborative work.
​
I believe in your ability to alchemize your darkest times, pain, & parts into light.
