Introducing Our Skilled and Compassionate Interns
Jennifer Bernal, MSW Student Intern
Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’m a therapist intern and a social work master’s student. My focus is on helping individuals navigate the challenges of trauma, anxiety, and depression with care that feels grounded and personal. I understand that no two journeys are the same, so I aim to approach every client with openness, flexibility, and respect for their unique experiences. In our work together, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself. Where healing, growth, and clarity can happen naturally. If you’re seeking support, I’m here to meet you where you are and walk with you at your own pace. You’re welcome to request an appointment whenever you’re ready. I look forward to connecting with you.
