Elise Jensen, MA

RESIDENT IN COUNSELING

BIO

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, you’re not alone. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely okay to not have everything figured out when you begin.

My name is Elise, and I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, trauma, and burnout. Many of the people I work with are trying to hold a lot together on the outside while feeling something very different underneath.

In our work together, we’ll create space to slow things down and better understand what you’re experiencing, while also building tools to help you feel more grounded and supported in your day-to-day life. My approach is collaborative and flexible. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and values-based approaches, always tailoring our work to what feels most helpful for you.

Clients often experience me as warm, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to. I care deeply about creating a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, explore at your own pace, and feel truly understood. Building a strong, trusting relationship is at the center of the work I do.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time outdoors in the sunshine, reading, cooking, and cozying up with my two cats. I also value time with friends and family and trying new hobbies.

If you’re considering therapy, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we can create a space where you feel supported as you explore, grow, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
