Inner Child Therapy
Childhood maltreatment can affect individuals at any age. Adult survivors of childhood abuse may not realize how much the maltreatment has affected their adult lives. Children learn resilience that aids in their development from youth through adulthood. As adults, a child abuse survivor can appear to be happy and productive to the outside world while internally suffering in silence. It is not uncommon for adults with a history of child maltreatment to develop panic disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder.
At Counseling with Jennifer, the adult survivor of childhood physical, emotional, and sexual abuse learns to parent the wounded inner child. Jennifer helps adult individuals discover how to care for the child self who is yearning to be loved and accepted. Jennifer provides a safe, inclusive, open, non-judgmental environment that fosters growth.
