Jen Dudek’s Approach

Hello! I am so glad you are here. I work with clients ages 10+ through adult virtually. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, stress, PTSD, suicidal intervention and prevention, self-esteem, grief, family struggles, and many other issues. My hope is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for my clients to learn to be curious with themselves and learn how their bodies and minds have learned to survive throughout their lives. My belief is that you have the power to help heal your own wounds, and I love to create a space to come alongside and help as you navigate this journey of healing. I have a special interest and emphasis in faith-based counseling as well.

The therapy models I mainly adhere to are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, somatic mindfulness, Gestalt therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) among some other therapy models when needed. I love pairing CBT and mindfulness with psychological education in helping you understand how your brain and body work together, and how your thoughts and core beliefs affect your feelings and behaviors. With this understanding comes ways of learning to help yourself heal, regulate, and cope in healthy ways. I encourage my clients to learn to listen to their own needs and desires while also learning to heal different parts of themselves that have been wounded or stuck. I create goals and treatment plans in collaboration with my clients, coming alongside you as we work towards these goals together. I always encourage my clients to be kind and patient with themselves as they navigate the healing process.
