JENNIFER AHLSTROM, LCSW

Jennifer believes the Dalai Lama summed it up wonderfully when he said, “Everyone wants to be happy.” In therapy, she works with clients to identify their strengths and challenges along with what they truly value. These insights become a guidebook throughout the journey. She offers tools to help clients learn how to direct and work with their thoughts and feelings so that they can progress rather than feel stuck. She explores the stories clients have held fast to and helps determine if they are helpful or holding them back from honoring their values and hopes for life.

Her life experiences with relationships, along with her families and clients, continue to shape her journey as a therapist. She has worked in areas including family conflict, marriage, men and women’s issues, substance abuse, addiction, and mental illness. Jennifer is passionate about working with individuals and couples to improve their journey. She believes that everything we experience is an opportunity to grow and become if we choose to see it that way. The challenge is realizing we have a choice and then being vulnerable enough to dare to look for the good—“that is where the magic comes in.”

Jennifer loves people, their stories, journeys, and courage. She looks forward to helping clients find their strengths, heal, and explore where they want to go next.
