Gracyn Jennings, LPC

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here!

 

I’m Gracyn, a licensed professional counselor passionate about serving women and mothers by facilitating healing, personal growth, and finding comfort within themselves as they face the many challenges experienced throughout pregnancy, parenthood, and life in general. I understand that major life changes such as pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and parenthood are challenging AND truly believe you can find relief with the right support. I will love to walk alongside as you navigate these experiences and help you feel empowered and capable to manage in the face of uncertainty in new stages of life.

 

My passion for working with women in the perinatal and parenthood stages of life stems from my own experience. Despite being a mental health provider myself, I struggled to adapt and cope as my life changed and parenthood began, then felt the guilt of these struggles despite wanting this stage of life so dearly. Pregnancy, postpartum, experiences of trying to expand one’s family, and parenthood are uniquely challenging stages of life–and they require unique types of support. I want to help women navigate these complex life experiences, where their needs are met, voices are heard, and they feel empowered to face uncertainty. 

 

My approach to psychotherapy is relational and tailored to your needs with a trauma-informed lens. I draw from various therapeutic modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, and Polyvagal theory. This blend allows us to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings naturally.

 

I will help you explore how past relationships affect your current experiences. We will navigate and process traumas and hurts which still lie within your body, and help you connect with these parts of yourself to feel empowered and safe in life and relationships. We will focus on communicating and meeting your needs, build and connect to a support system which actually supports, and bring contentment and peace in your relationship with yourself. 

 

I look forward to helping you navigate the various challenges life throws at you, and helping you feel the most empowered to take on the next step!
