Introduction

Hi, I'm Dr. Jennifer Scharding. I have been practicing for ten years, counseling adults, couples, and families. I hold a doctorate in psychology, and my research focuses on how outer perceptions affect our inner self-worth. I believe that as my client, you come to me as your own agent of change, and my job is to facilitate and support that with all the expertise and enthusiasm I offer. Working together, we will process trauma, uncover the roots of issues, build lasting trust and self-worth, and recognize -and celebrate!- the strength and resilience shown with each step of progress. I specialize in psychodynamic, trauma-focused, culturally sensitive, strength-based therapy. What that means for you as my client is that we will work together to create a safe space for you to use the tools and strategies I provide. I facilitate insight and trust into your own unique strength, enabling growth, increased confidence, self-worth, and joy. Finding the right therapist can be daunting, so congratulations on taking this first step! Reach out to schedule a free consultation, or to ask any questions you have for me.
