Jennifer Cornwell
Welcome to my page! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), an EMDRIA-trained EMDR clinician, and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) based in Florida, with a strong focus on integrative, client-centered care. My approach is warm, collaborative, and adaptable. Whether you need structure, practical tools, or space to process painful experiences, I tailor our work to your needs, strengths, and goals. Together, we’ll build insight, develop healthier ways of coping, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that honors your readiness and your desire to move forward.
First session
In our first session, my main goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable sharing what brings you to me. We'll start by going over some initial paperwork, including confidentiality and your rights as a client. Then we’ll talk about your goals, your history, and any current challenges you’re facing—emotionally, mentally, or behaviorally. It’s a chance for me to get a well-rounded understanding of who you are, and for you to ask questions about the therapy process. I may also share a bit about how I work, especially my integrative approach that blends traditional talk therapy with supportive, holistic strategies. There’s no pressure to share everything right away—this is your space, and we go at a pace that feels right for you. By the end of the session, we’ll start to outline a plan for moving forward together, whether that’s weekly sessions, specific treatment goals, or simply beginning to build a therapeutic relationship that feels supportive and effective for you.
Strengths
I utilize a range of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR when appropriate, to find what best supports you. My training and experience help me look beyond symptoms and understand your experiences with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment. I strive to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore and process their experiences and build the tools they need for meaningful healing and personal growth.
Ideal clients
The clients I’m best positioned to serve are adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or out of alignment. They may be experiencing the effects of past trauma, struggling with anxiety, depression, mood instability, or addiction, and feeling exhausted from trying to manage it all on their own. If this sounds like you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where we can explore how past experiences influence present struggles. Together, we’ll work at your pace to develop healthier ways of coping, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward meaningful healing and lasting change. If you’re looking for a therapist who blends clinical insight, and therapeutic interventions with a grounded, human approach—who will help you reconnect to your values, your goals, and your self—we’re likely a great fit.
Origin story
Understanding how our experiences shape the way we think, feel, behave and connect with others has always been a passion of mine. Becoming a therapist allowed me to pair that curiosity with something deeply meaningful to me: helping people understand themselves with greater compassion and create lasting change despite obstacles and challenges in life that may seem too large to overcome.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a clinical mental health therapist, I’ve found that integrating treatment methods to be incredibly valuable in meeting clients' diverse and complex needs. My experience involves blending traditional therapeutic interventions—such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and DBT/mindfulness to create a comprehensive care plan.
EMDR
For clients suffering from PTSD and trauma, I utilize EMDR with trauma-informed techniques and additional complementary techniques that support the mind-body connection in healing.
