Thrive Counseling
Jennifer Gilroy Sarna, LMFT, LADC

Collaborative counseling to help you thrive
You do not have to settle for merely surviving your life, enduring emotional pain, or tolerating unsatisfying relationships. You deserve to feel your best and live your life to its fullest potential. In other words, you deserve to thrive.
I will help you learn to feel better, resolve problems, and improve strained relationships. You can discover how to get the most out of your energy, skills, time, and relationships.
​
We will work together in therapy so you can achieve your goals. Maybe you are not quite sure what your goals are; you just know something has to change. I can help you identify a change that you could benefit from making and then empower you to take reasonable steps towards a more satisfying life.
​
As your therapist, I will provide the safe environment, caring support, and effective tools you need to be a healthier, happier you. I aim to provide my clients the empathy and validation they need and deserve, while also finding the right moments to challenge unhelpful perspectives or patterns. I believe this can and should always be done with compassion and the assumption that we are all doing our best at any given moment. Healing and growth are hard, but possible. We will figure out how to specifically get you feeling better, and then experiencing a healthier mindset and way of navigating the ups and downs of your life. I have realized that we can only begin to do better consistently when our nervous system allows it and we have had the opportunity to regulate our body/feelings, clarify our thoughts/values, and develop the skills necessary for a new and improved approach. I work for you, so I will learn where you are in this process and prioritize what you want to focus on moving forward. With your permission, I will share observations, feedback, and ideas that I think will benefit you based on my experience and your goals.
​
I am qualified to work with individuals, couples, and families. We can discuss which modality might give you, or your loved ones, the best chance for success.
