Meet Our Leader
Jennifer Sowers, LCSW-C (she/her)
Hey there! Let me tell you something about me using the pictures below! Just like you, I am a complex, multi-faceted person. Wellness and a healthy connection often take more than just a trusting therapeutic relationship (although I promise to provide that, too!) and I am more than just a therapist.
“I want to live with deep intimacy every day of my life. I am guided, sometimes driven, by an ache to take the necessary risks that will let me live close to what is within and around me. And I am sometimes afraid that it will be too much, that I will not have, or be connected to, whatever it takes to be with it all, to bear the exquisite beauty and bone-wrenching sorrow of being fully alive.”
