  • WHO: Masters Level Counseling Intern

    WHAT: Hi everyone, I’m Jeannetta. I am currently in a graduate program for my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I have been in the mental health field since 2016. I have a huge passion for addiction recovery and mental health! I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and laid-back environment for my clients to come in and share their stories. My style in a counseling setting is person-centered. I also utilize motivational interviewing, CBT, and solution-focused techniques with clients. Most of my free time is spent spending time with my kiddos. My hobbies include crocheting, baking, and reading. One of my biggest beliefs is that we are all doing the best with the tools and knowledge that we have, and when we know more, we have the opportunity to grow.

  • WHO: Masters Level Social Work Intern

    WHAT: Hi, I’m Alison! I am currently obtaining my Master's in Social Work through the University of Illinois. I have around 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience and self-compassion. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in correctional facilities and residential youth programs, where I’ve supported individuals facing emotional and behavioral challenges. I believe that healing happens in a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. Whether you're seeking support for a specific struggle or personal growth, I'm here to meet you where you're at by helping you build coping skills and gain deeper self-awareness. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my fur babies, reading, planting things, SxS riding, and visiting National Parks with my husband. I enjoy working in the mental health field because I love helping people recognize their potential and watching them grow!

  • WHO: Masters Level Counseling Intern

    WHAT: Hi, I’m Jessica Hardie! I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern studying at Bradley University. My background includes work in the justice system as a probation officer and experience in entrepreneurship. But my deepest insights into emotional and mental wellness have come from my personal story as a single foster mom, and now as a wife, adoptive, and biological mom. I take a client centered, holistic, and faith integrated approach to counseling. I believe in honoring the whole person mind, body, and spirit and often incorporate creative practices, inner child work, psychoeducation, and identity exploration. I believe Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor, and for those who desire it, I welcome prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit into the therapeutic process. No matter your background or beliefs, my heart is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and supported and where we can even share some laughter along the way. When I’m not wrangling kids, I love spontaneous adventures, listening to podcasts, and grabbing a good latte!
